EXAMPLE 1: The Adaptation

Bryan used mythological consulting as a powerful drafting tool to adapt his memoir to teleplay, identifying the mythic themes already at play and honing and clarifying the project in its new form.

Bryan came to me with his life story in the form of a deeply personal memoir, desiring to translate his memoir to a television series teleplay.

Project scope and timeline: 24 months, bi-weekly meetings

Applications of mythological consulting:

• mapping mythological themes, archetypes and symbols

• exploring connections between mythic “amplifications”

• assisting author in prioritizing which mythic elements to emphasize

• consulting on visual, imagery-references for associated pitch deck

“Charlotte helped me to transmute my personal story to a universally mythic story.”
