Biography
Bobette Buster was born on September 4,1953 in Ohio, but was raised in a small town of Leitchfield, Kentucky.[2] Growing up there, she would collect stories in her youth about the older generation, which included her own family members, and has the oral histories preserved at the Kentucky Museum.[3] She graduated Northwestern University with a B.S. in Speech and USC Film School with an M.F.A. in the Peter Stark Producing Program. She also studied briefly at Princeton University.[4]
Currently living in Los Angeles, she has been working as a part-time lecturer as a Stark adjunct professor since 1992. In an interview, she professed, "Storytelling is a profound responsibility: you are psychologically preparing people for their future."[5] Her lecturing and consulting experiences have comprised of Pixar, Disney, Le Femis (Paris), DFFB (Berlin), 20th Century Fox, Sony Animation, FAMU (Prague), Media Business School (Spain), EIC-TV (Havana), the BBC, Catholic University of Milan, La Fėmis (Paris), Animation Ireland, Screen Training Ireland, North By Northwest (Denmark), and more.[6][7] Her area of expertise in the film industry focuses on the development of storytelling for all cultures, incorporating corporate, nonprofit, and academia.[8] Her influences extend to writers like, Josh Goldsmith (EP, King of Queens, What Women Want), Pete Chiarelli (The Proposal), Elizabeth Klaviter (Producer/Writer, Grey’s Anatomy), Dana Fox (EP, Ben and Kate), Miles Millar & Alfred Gough (EPs, Smallville), Garret Lerner & Russell Friend (EPs, House), John August (screenwriter,) documentary producer Karen Johnson (Double Dare,) and many more.[9]
Bobette's essential principles focus on Story Physics, The History of Hollywood Economics, Hard-Wired for Wonder, The Uses of Enchantment, Violence in Entertainment, The Purpose of Happily Ever After, Hollywood Economics 101, Epiphany, and The Ten Stages of Transformation.[10]
Aside from lecturing, she is also a screenwriter and documentary producer. "There is phenomenal work being done in documentaries," she praised. "The constraints of raising funds and delivering ideas that can be marketed worldwide have created a really taut story discipline among documentary makers."[11]
Her works include Deadly Code (2013), Making Waves: The Art of Cinematic Sound (2016) and Weapons of Mass Distraction (1997).[12] She also has written a book that is apart of the “Do” series, entitled, Do Story: How to tell your story so the world listens[13] that engages and connects the craftsmanship of storytelling.[14]
She is a member of the Writers Guild, and in December of 2007 while picketing outside of Paramount during the writer's strike, she reinforced, "Writers took the lead here because we're contrarians, independent thinkers."[15]
