Story is my Thing
Story Is My Thing
By Margaret South
I’ve pursued many passions over the years—raising kind children, learning to paint, knitting with my mom until she passed. But nothing has captivated me like the study of Story. To me, it’s the ultimate exploration of the human condition.
Why do people do the things they do? That’s what writers are here to explore. At the very least, they’ll ask the hard questions.
In all my years making movies with actors, directors, producers, and movie stars, the group I’ve loved working with most is the community of writers.
Helping a writer find their voice is an intimate and personal journey. You can’t help but become friends with these people who share so much of themselves. And when it’s time to send their finished story out into the world—into the hands of agents, producers, and other gatekeepers—I can’t help but feel like I’m sending my first child off to college.
Story is my thing.
