How It Teaches

Encoding fingerprint and cognitive approach

Theory
Examples ›
Balanced — theoretical concepts illustrated through detailed analysis of specific films across genres and eras.
Mechanism
Heuristic ›
Leans mechanism — explains WHY a film's structure works, not just what the structure is.
Diagnostic
Prescriptive ›
Diagnostic — analyzes what makes films work rather than prescribing a template to follow.
Global
Local ›
Balanced — covers both macro story structure and scene-level writing craft.
Cognitive Mode
Ne + Fi
Teaches through extraverted intuition — exploring multiple angles on every film, seeing possibilities and connections that standard analysis misses (Ne). Grounded in introverted feeling — Krueger consistently validates the writer's unique voice as the most important asset, and evaluates craft choices by whether they serve the writer's authentic expression (Fi). The combination produces teaching that expands creative options while honoring individual identity.
Ne opens creative possibilities; Fi ensures they serve your authentic voice. Together they build technique without sacrificing individuality.

What It Teaches

Central thesis and key premises

Every writer has a unique voice that matters more than any formula. Screenwriting education should develop that voice through deep analysis of what works in great films, non-judgmental exploration of your own instincts, and the understanding that art and craft are not in opposition.
Teaching Modality
Analytical Mentorship
Approach
Weekly podcast episodes dissect films to reveal writing principles. No templates — understand WHY things work and develop your own approach.
Voice as Core Asset
Your unique voice is the most valuable thing you bring to screenwriting. Technique should develop your voice, not replace it with a formula.
Structure
Non-Judgmental Analysis
Instead of labeling scripts as good or bad, analyze what each creative choice accomplishes. This removes shame from the learning process and makes every film a teacher.
Character
Art and Craft Integration
Art (personal expression) and craft (technique) are not in opposition. The best screenwriting happens when both are fully engaged — craft serves art, art motivates craft.
Structure
Learning from Film Analysis
Deep analysis of how specific films solve writing problems teaches principles you can adapt. The analysis reveals the writer's choices, not a formula to copy.
Emotion
Meditative Writing Practice
Krueger integrates mindfulness and meditation into the writing process — accessing creative intuition through presence rather than forcing output through willpower.
