PATRICK HORTON is one of the most intuitively empowering and innovative guides for the development of story and storytelling. Through The Story Coach - Practical Magic seminars and consulting services, he routinely shows writers, filmmakers, and speakers the way to divine, express, and effectively promote material they did not know they had in them, let alone that they could give expression to in such a powerful and moving voice. Similarly, he is equally able in showing myriad representation, development, and production professionals the most effective ways to draw out the best in their talent and stories. Of particular significance here, he is also an active member of the Screen Actors Guild with an rich understanding of our gifts and needs. His students and clients across the board often discover that their work to date has been but a hint or a shadow of what it could have been and realize new levels of discovery and expression. In all cases, the collaborative endeavor is not simply to try and improve on what is, but to discover what is possible.
"Like Stanislavky\'s \'System,\' Dr. Horton has pioneered a method
for creating truthful work--for those whose performance is on the page.
The screenwriting craft has its \'An Actor Prepares.\' "
Michael Shlain, Agent / Shapiro
