Exploring a New Approach to Scriptwriting & Storytelling I’m working on an experimental storytelling method that challenges conventional scriptwriting and performance techniques. The idea? Actors don’t just play roles—they fully become their characters. Instead of delivering memorized lines, they live as their characters, shaping their words and actions organically within the story framework. The script provides the structure—plot points, character arcs, and key moments—but how those moments unfold is guided by the actors’ immersion in their roles. It’s a fusion of method acting and improvisational storytelling, aiming to create performances that feel genuinely lived rather than staged. The goal is to capture realism, unpredictability, and deep character authenticity—something that traditional scripted dialogue might not fully achieve. I’d love to hear thoughts from other writers, actors, directors, and creatives. Do you think this could work? What challenges or opportunities do you see in this approach? And if you're intrigued, let's connect—I’m looking for collaborators to test this concept in a short project! #Storytelling #Scriptwriting #ExperimentalFilm #MethodActing #CreativeCollaboration #ImprovPerformance

Sounds like an interesting idea, Daniel Fish. I'd have to see it in action to tell if it could work.

It’s an idea that I have thought about a while back, I would expect it to be something that so many things would have to line up perfectly to pull off. It would be something fun and interesting nonetheless.

Looking forward to watching the short, Daniel Fish. I think it's smart to test out the idea with a short instead of a feature. You could also make a post on the Job Board (www.stage32.com/find-jobs).
