)Structure is all over the place here. It was told from the three kids POV just having fun exploring their new found abilities.There was no meddling secret government agents trying to intervene. In fact, I'm pretty damn sure one of the reasons I loved this script sooooo much is because of the lack of structure. I guess, the thing about this idea is that the execution could fail.

Chronicle 2 doesn't yet have a release date.

The dialogue. Think huge. To a unique level. An everyday man develops superhero like telekinetic powers. But shit.

You know why? How can I deliver it in a fresh way?Chronicle was about kids having fun with super powers. But even then, it would be a guaranteed money maker. If that's the ONLY thing that's not working for a script.

Because Max understands how to make the SCENE WORK.If every scene has conflict and every scene has a POINT then even if your structure doesn't follow the typical Hero's Journey beats, the story will flow.
