Talk in Prague: endings and beyond

Just gave a talk at the Prague Film School. About understanding what makes a memorable ending, unsatisfying ending, how knowing your beginning can help you know your ending and vice versa, the politics of endings, and how endings can best be represented on the page.  Mostly: your ending is you, your statement as an artist. Be careful with it. Some of the films/televsion shows referenced:
