About this video essay:
Why are stories so purposefully structured whereas our reality is so often messy and chaotic? Why do characters have clear transformative arcs when our identities and personal journeys are so much more complex than that? It's questions like these, and their implications that are explored in this unabridged cut of what was originally a 3-part series on the nature of storytelling and the way it shapes our identities.
