2025 - the shaping of mud - a masterclass for emerging screenwriters | Miquiel Banks

This masterclass explores humanity's struggle with Unstructured Data (MUD)—creativity, innovation, and the unknown—through the lens of American media history. Core Premise: Acceptance leads to Success, Control leads to Disaster. When facing unstructured data, humanity has two choices: acceptance (intelligence) or control (ignorance). Key Insight: Screenwriters make over 28,000 decisions transforming unstructured data into a finished screenplay—99.63% of a movie's creative work. After a spec script sells, only 105 decisions remain to reach theatrical release. The Vision: A return to acceptance of unstructured data, led by authentic screenwriters and intelligence, creating a New Golden Aeon.
