“…Every movie, in the first act, there’s something called ‘the inciting incident’. And the inciting incident is the thing that happens that propels the hero’s journey. It’s the long lost relative that shows up at the house, it’s the phone call, it’s the murder. It’s the ‘something’ that suddenly the hero one day is going left, the event happens, the inciting incident happens, and the next day, they’re going right…I had an inciting incident happen in my life that changed my life forever. And it happened in 1974….”
