Believability, Introducing Character, Meet Cute

Women Make Film: A New Road Movie Through Cinema – Season 1

"Believability". It's easy to spot, but not so easy to understand. Believability is about simple human stories, the truth about life, real emotions, and responding to the world. How do directors create a reality without it feeling fake? True stories can help. But what's the trick? "Introducing Character". Going to a house, overhearing people, witnessing bizarre action -- there are many ways to meet people and be introduced to characters in films. "Meet Cute". The classic Hollywood trope of a "meet cute" invites a variety of interpretations, from intimate glimpses to worlds colliding spectacularly.
