We’re starting with a classic—and not just any version, but the early 1980 draft of Blade Runner by Hampton Fancher. Before the final cut, before Ridley Scott’s signature visuals, there was this quieter, more philosophical version of the story. And it's a masterclass in restraint, mood, and meaning.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
A quick synopsis of the story How this early script differs from the final film
Why Blade Runner had to be the first script in this challenge
My Heart of the Story analysis framework in action Emotional core, symbolism, and character arcs
My personal journey with the film—from confusion to awe
This isn’t just a film breakdown—it’s a study in what it means to write stories that last. Hit play, grab your notes, and join me on this journey—one script at a time.
