“The Kinney Method teaches how the proven arc of storytelling in film and entertainment can inform, enrich, and empower our work in law, business, and our personal lives.  We all connect with stories, can transform the hero by saving the dog, and the talented team Christiane and Sean Kinney generously share and connect their insights from trial practice and filmmaking in their “Lights, Camera ...” series to make us better, more interesting, and effective advocates.”

— Maureen Weston, Professor of Law, Pepperdine Caruso School of Law

“These materials are information I wish all screenwriters and creators would have and know … as my roots come from story as a development executive, producer, and consultant in the industry, the concept of narrative is deeply important. It is the connective tissue between us as humans. We are all heroes and protagonists of our own lives. They’ve evolved a methodology for talking about the very core of storytelling, and isolation of those elements of storytelling, to make it manageable and inspiring as a way of beginning the storytelling process.”

— Christina Sibul, Production Executive, “Sideways”; Producer, “Thirteen”
