Sean Capdeville is a screenwriter and host of the YouTube video essay series "Franchise Forum." He has an incredible attention to detail and a knack for understanding world-building, which he learned from his favorite movie of all time, Casablanca. It's a screenplay that taught Sean you can effectively build your world by accounting for every detail you can.
