    From our deconstruction of hundreds of Hollywood blockbusters....

    The Hero's Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the Hollywood movies we have deconstructed are based on this template.

    Understanding this template
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
    is a priority for story or screenwriters.

    The Hero's Journey:

    a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.

    b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.

    c) Int
    ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug.

    Examples of combination products may in
    rpreted metaphorically, laterally and symbolically, allows an infinite number of varied stories to be created.

    and more...
