ANATOMY OF CHAOS is a series of video essays that explore the art of story, intended to be a resource for education, inspiration, and foster discussion to support writers and artists of all kinds as they develop their art.
The material in this video qualifies for “fair use” as it is a form of commentary and criticism for the purpose of education. All material was complied from already existing youtube videos or from my personal production.
