How to Write an Epic w/ Boogie Nights (Writing Advice)

Paul Thomas Anderson’s Boogie Nights is an epic tale spanning the 70’s & the 80’s. How would a writer create something as epic as BOOGIE NIGHTS? In this video, we breakdown the story structure of BOOGIE NIGHTS using FIVE-ACT STRUCTURE detailed in John Yorke’s INTO THE WOODS #boogienights, #writingadvice, #Storystructure Boogie Nights has everything you can want in a movie. It’s hilariously funny, incredibly dramatic, disturbing, heartwarming, with incredible performances and brilliant filmmaking. It is an epic period piece, using both the 70’s and the 80’s. It is about dysfunctional people finding family in the weirdest places, it’s about how the free love and experimentation of the seventies led to the gaudy, oppressive 80’s. It’s about filmmaking and art.
