Sometimes we need to stop for a moment and think about what we're really doing. We're telling stories.
As filmmakers, our stories are not in the first place for ourselves; they are for an audience.

Karel Segers wrote his first produced screenplay at age 17. Today he is a story analyst with experience in acquisition, development and production. He has trained students worldwide, and worked with half a dozen Academy Award nominees. Karel speaks more European languages than he has fingers on his left hand, which he is still trying to find a use for in his hometown of Sydney, Australia. The languages, not the fingers.
