JJ Abrams on Storytelling / Collaboration and Productivity Mind Hacks

It is only fitting with “ The Last Jedi” about to be released to get some background on producer
JJ Abrams. He was the creative force behind hit TV shows such as "Alias", "Fringe", and "Lost".

He then transitioned to movies and was behind the productions of " Cloverfield" and Super 8* and wound up heralding the Mission Impossible franchise, the Star Trek reboot and also... you guessed it,  Star Wars. So if you are needing advice about storytelling and film making, this is the man to give it to you!


Here is a link with JJ Abrams himself taking about film making;
