forget everything you have ever read about screenwriting, storytelling, and what have you

recipe, formula, guidelines:

one character
relationship demand
internal goal
fears that motivates one goal over relationship demand and vice versa

example:  The Big Lebowski

one character: The Dude
relationship demand - to be a man, (take a stand)
internal goal  - to be a woman (pacifist, pushover)
fear leading him from internal goal to relationship demand: castration
fear leading him from relationship demand to internal goal: getting his ass kicked
