At Narrative First, Inc., we take storytelling seriously—not just as an art, but as a fundamental way we make sense of the world. As AI accelerates content creation, we stand at the forefront, ensuring that storytelling remains a deeply human craft rooted in meaning, structure, and purpose.

For over a decade, we’ve been pushing beyond conventional storytelling frameworks like the Hero’s Journey, focusing instead on why stories resonate. Through cutting-edge research and development, we’ve built tools that don’t just analyze stories but help writers, filmmakers, game developers, and businesses craft narratives with depth, clarity, and emotional weight.

The Future of Storytelling: AI-Enhanced, Human-Led

At the heart of our work is Subtxt, our revolutionary AI-enhanced story development platform. More than just a writing assistant, Subtxt provides an intelligent framework for understanding the mechanics of storytelling—helping creators make intentional choices that lead to powerful, meaningful narratives.

Rather than relying on outdated models or surface-level story beats, Subtxt equips storytellers with a structured approach to narrative dynamics, ensuring that their stories aren’t just well-formed, but built on real dramatic tension and thematic purpose. In a world flooded with AI-generated content, Subtxt stands apart by empowering human writers with the tools to create stories that matter.

A Legacy of Innovation in Storytelling

Our CEO, Founder, and Chief Narrative Officer, Jim Hull, has spent years refining the art of narrative and developing innovative ways to shape compelling stories. His expertise has been sought after for Oscar-recognized screenplays, including consulting on Canada’s official entry for Best International Film at the 2023 Academy Awards. He has also played a key role in Blacklist-ranking scripts and major studio projects, bringing structural insight that strengthens storytelling at every level. In addition, he has guided top creative minds, including those behind The Mitchells vs. The Machines, in understanding the deeper mechanics of story—helping ensure that the narratives they craft are not just engaging, but deeply resonant.

But our vision goes beyond individual successes. Narrative First is about shaping the future of storytelling itself—a future where AI enhances creativity rather than replacing it, and where writers, directors, and creators have the tools to craft stories with real meaning.

Whether you’re a novelist, screenwriter, game designer, or brand strategist, our mission remains the same: to ensure that storytelling remains one of the most powerful and uniquely human skills, no matter how technology evolves.
