A samurai’s first bite in New York
Find the story in the contrast between a character and a place.
In this article
Ren arrives in Times Square in a charcoal haori. The lights and the traffic set the scene, but the story turns on something much smaller.
Make the place specific

Build to one action
Let the burger wrapper, his hesitation, and the first bite carry the story. The audience can read the contrast in his reaction.
