Character
Archetypes · Core fears · The comedy equation · The three buckets. Move from boring to interesting to wow.
We gamify the dynamics of film — character, plot, and story pattern — to empower your real life story and co-create projects worth producing.
Once you see the triangle — character, plot, story pattern — you can’t unsee it. In any movie. In any brand. In your own life. MythMatrix is the framework that makes story legible, actionable, and yours to direct.

LVMH launched 22 Montaigne Entertainment. Starbucks launched Starbucks Studios. Chick-fil-A is developing original programming. The brands winning right now aren’t advertising — they’re producing. MythMatrix gives you the framework, the methodology, and the roadmap from sponsor to studio.
Transform your brand narrative →You already have a voice. MythMatrix gives you the architecture. We’ll take your concept through the PROBLEM framework, map it to the right story pattern, build your 15-beat outline, and develop a production-ready package — logline, one-pager, pilot outline — built for studio consideration.
Develop your IP →A 47-person longitudinal study showed that increased agency appeared in people’s stories before their mental health actually improved. People created a new version of themselves — and lived into it. The most important story you’ll ever tell is the one you tell yourself, about yourself. Let’s write it.
Be the hero of your story →Over 500 films reduce to 5 pairs of story patterns, organized by 5 stages of tribal consciousness. Once you see this map, you can identify the pattern of virtually any movie, any media — and any chapter of your life.

“There is only one rule in storytelling: Don’t be boring.”— Carl Acius
Humans are storytelling animals. Our default mode of cognition is narrative. The way we tell stories about ourselves — past, present, and future — is a skill that can be improved. Classic signs of helplessness and hopelessness are successfully treated with personal narrative. Fixing our past improves our future.
