About the event
Description: Before you ever write a script, a lot of foundational work goes into creating memorable characters that viewers will latch on to (or love to hate). In this class, we’ll use examples from popular shows, online skits, and even public figures to understand what makes a truly relatable character. There will be brainstorming exercises, discussion, and time for Q&A. Ideal for screenwriting beginners and avid TV watchers.
