Comment: The Brainstormer – Episode 44
Thursday, December 24th, 2009Andrew Bosley’s The Brainstormer, is in turns a lot of fun, a source of inspiration, and a great tool for all script writers/screenplay writers or storytellers of any sort.
We took it for a spin and came up with a couple of stories (referencing films as diverse as Nanook of the North, Citizen Kane, the Da Vinci Code, and There Will be Blood.)
If you come up with anything great, strange, or even just amusing, do put in the comments below! Or just start writing.
