For years, people have given me grief that I run a streaming service almost 24/7 around me. Audible, Hulu, Prime, YouTube, and the one that has been with me for over a decade. Netflix entered the world in 1997 and soon became the service that would be in my monthly budget longer than any other.
It is great to be able to experience a work of art and scripting while moving around the house cleaning, or doing some work. One of the easiest ways to learn story structure is something you may have been doing for a long long time. Watch a movie. Take some time to start looking for the common storytelling techniques that are in the visual stories they present.
These are the things that leave Netflix this month.
