At this year's Aspen Ideas Festival, we asked a group of writers, journalists, and producers to explain what makes a story great. According to House of Cards showrunner
Beau Willimon, the answer is a simple one: "The most important element
in a good story is conflict. It's seeing two opposing forces collide
with one another." Other panelists include Michael Eisner, Catherine
Burns, Jay Allison, Jon Lovett, Yoni Bloch, Paula Kerger, and Jonathan
Harris.
