Our partner – Robert McKee

Robert McKee, a Fulbright Scholar, is the most sought-after screenwriting lecturer around the globe. He has dedicated the last 30 years to educating and mentoring screenwriters, novelists, playwrights, poets, documentary makers, producers and directors internationally.

Those who have learned from McKee have called him ‘the Aristotle of our time’ because of his insight into the substance, structure, style and principles of the grand art of story.

Peter Jackson (writer/director of the Lord of The Rings trilogy and The Hobbit) has lauded him as ‘The guru of gurus.’ For the writers of Pixar (creators of Toy Story 1, 2 & 3 and Finding Nemo), McKee’s STORY Seminar is a rite of passage.

A BAFTA winner and nominee for his popular Channel 4 series Reel Secrets, McKee also wrote and hosted 12 episodes of BBC’s Filmworks series. He was profiled by Bob Simon of 60 Minutes for CBS news, and portrayed by Emmy Award winner Brian Cox in the Oscar-nominated film Adaptation. This year, McKee was inducted into the Hall of Fame at the annual Final Draft Awards.

McKee’s former students include over 60 Academy Award winners, 200 Academy Award nominees, 200 Emmy Award winners, 1000 Emmy Award nominees, 100 WGA (Writers Guild of America) Award winners, 250 WGA Award nominees, 50 DGA (Directors Guild of America) Award winners and 100 DGA Award nominees.
