Sharing this week's Coffee and Content blog about Sinners. Lots of interesting stuff in the video essay on Sinners https://youtu.be/DPGf5TfGwAk?si=nTD9XokhIfxAX1SZ.
One thing it talks about is how Coogler explores immersive storytelling. I"m wondering, How do you use immersive techniques (like internal monologue or unconventional staging) in your own acting work?

Alexandra Stevens, I love this question and I can’t wait to see everyone’s answers. From both a writer’s perspective and a viewer, I’m drawn to immersive storytelling. There’s nothing better than feeling like you’re truly inside the head of a character and can rationalize their feelings and actions because they’re so fully realized and human.

Hi, Alexandra Stevens. I like how they handled June's internal monologue in The Handmaid's Tale. I've been thinking about using an internal monologue in a script. It can be an entertaining way to reveal things to the audience if done right.

Sometimes Alexandra Stevens when developing a character, I will keep a journal as that character regarding the circumstances of the play,. Also, developing a character bio like my favorite childhood memory, my favorite color, my childhood best friend, memories with the characters, etc.

Ashley Renee Smith yes indeed. Is there any particular immersive storytelling scenario that has stayed with you?
