Building Character Arcs
This video lays out a simple, powerful tool to create vivid, dramatic characters in any kind of script. Even a minor supporting character can feel alive and interesting - and when they do, it super-charges your story and central characters. Every part of a script gets better when you give the characters a life of their own. = = = = = This channel is here to help you learn to write for screens - ANY kind of screens, from Hollywood tentpole to streaming series to DIY indie. I am no longer doing one-on-one script-consulting/coaching. But I’m still around! I’m on Substack: https://writingforscreens.substack.com.
