Bobette Buster

Over 25 years experience as a graduate (MFA) and Ad. Professor at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts Peter Stark Program, and as a Hollywood producer, creative executive for Tony Scott, Larry Gellbart and Ray Stark, Bobette continues to consult for Hollywood’s leading decision makers and creatives at Pixar, 21st Century Fox, Disney Animation, and Sony Animation. She also conducts seminars for the most elite film school programs around the world as well as in-depth, immersive workshops on how to be a storyteller for corporate and not-for-profit organizations, advertising and idea conferences.

Drawing from the techniques and tools of the extraordinary filmmakers of our time, Bobette deconstructs movies to illustrate key concepts to understand the purpose of story structure, a character’s arc of transformation, the core theme, zeitgeist and how these are interwoven and enhanced through cinematic language. Bobette’s seminar offers a clear, methodological and unique approach to developing a screenplay that is essential for any screenwriter, producer or director. In understanding how to use these tools to orchestrate the audience’s emotional response, a filmmaker will be able to elevate a script to the highest quality.

Bobette has just been appointed Professor of the Practice of Digital Storytelling at Northeastern University, Boston.
