If Your Life Were a Movie, What's Your Ending? Asks Screenwriter Barbara Ward Thall


Listen Later

If your life were a movie, what ending would you write? Emerging screenwriter Barbara Ward Thall hit her late-fifties and decided she wanted a wildly different ending for her third act, after decades in senior ad and marketing roles at buzzy companies like Amazon's Audible. Now at 60, she writes highly personal, female-led stories that won her a coveted spot in a writer's program for women over 40, backed by heavy-hitters like Oprah. Barbara shares ideas for applying screenwriting's “three-act formula” to create your own cinematic third-act.
