Christopher Vogler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christopher Vogler is a Hollywood screenwriter. He is best known for his guide for screenwriters, The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure For Writers.
Vogler has worked for Disney studios, Fox 2000 pictures, and Warner Bros. in the development department. He has also taught in the USC School of Cinema-Television, Division of Animation and Digital Arts as well as at UCLA extension. He is President of the company Storytech.
Vogler studied filmmaking at the USC School of Cinema-Television, the alma mater of George Lucas. As with Lucas, Vogler was inspired by the writings of mythologist Joseph Campbell, particularly The Hero With a Thousand Faces.
Vogler used Campbell's work to create the now-legendary 7-page company memo for Hollywood screenwriters, A Practical Guide to The Hero With a Thousand Faces [1]. Vogler later developed his memo into the late 1990s book, The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure For Writers.
