Mirov - The French Connection and a lesson on relentlessness
No scene might display the absolute tenacity and relentlessness of a hell-bent protagonist like the car chase in The French Connection!
Editing, music, lack of music, acting, camera work, stunt work, all of it at the peak of perfection. Imagine a whole story infused with this burst of energy?

Mirov - Raiders of the Lost Ark and the process of brutality
The ending of The Raiders of the Lost Ark is brutal in its depiction of evil toying with what it doesn't understand, respect, and value. Spielberg's ability to step through the processes of the scene, the ceremony, and then the slaughter of the bad guys is unflinching and pulls no punches.
Imagine an entire work created with this mentality in mind.

Mirov - There Will Be Blood and Inglourious Basterds
The cadence and voice of Daniel Plainview and Hans Landa. Their demeanors, their awkwardness. All of these aspects influenced a character in Mirov.
Can you create a threatening figure through tone, unpredictability, and feel?

How to use a MacGuffin. How To Write A Novel, Screenplay Or Story
Does your story have a "MacGuffin"? If not, you probably ought to consider adding one. It's more than just a plot device. Don't dismiss it as a contrivance. They work, they are fundamental, and the greats have used them plenty.

Mirov - How Robocop's ED-209 vs Kenny is my fav scene ever & I wanted to write a whole book like it
Robocop's classic scene ED-209 vs Kenny scene influenced me more than anything else in my entire creative career. I even wrote a whole article about there right here: https://www.mirov.com/post/an-author-s-introduction-to-himself-and-his-story
The power of the big droid vs this little yuppie who didn't deserve any of this, taking place in a boring, corporate board room. It is just the perfect blend pre-teen boy daydreams mixed with violence suited for adults. Perfection and I wanted to make a whole book that captured that over and over again.
I used Robocop footage for educational purposes.

Mirov - Star Trek II and how Kirk vs Khan thrilled me enough to write a book
Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan is one of my favorite movies of all time and my favorite scene in the film is the first clash between Kirk and Khan. The timing and pacing are perfect and the flip from despair to getting out of a fix is executed to precision.
I wanted to create a book that captured this type of moment over and over again. Hopefully I did so with Mirov.

Make sure your story builds up a sense of dread for what's to come.
Conflict is story. Whether internal, external, humanity vs. nature, good guy vs. bad guy, it doesn't matter. Without conflict, you have no story. This applies to comedy, drama, horror, scifi, every genre.
The reader/viewer should dread what is to come. They should feel uneasy about the upcoming fight, upcoming battle, upcoming ball game, upcoming dance contest. When your audience feels a sense of dread, you have them hooked and your story has a chance to succeed.
Learn to craft your novel, screenplay, or story. Is your story clear? Does it make sense? Can people easily tell what is happening, why it is happening, and what each character's goals are? If not, we will figure out how to make sure it does.

Does your story have a sidekick? If not, GET ONE!
Sidekicks give your audience an "in" to the world of your story. Either giving your protagonist someone to bounce questions off of or to give answers to. Whether it be information about that universe, location, or emotional insight, having someone to bounce off of gives your story more depth than you'd be able to conceive without it.

How to create an antagonist--bad guys can make or break your story.
Bad guys can make or break your story. The better the villain, the better the movie, book, video game, comic, you name it. They have to have clear desires and have relatable--yet twisted--goals.
Don't be afraid to fall in love with your antagonist.
