This is a hands-in-the-dirt workshop led by two facilitators—Ami Lum and Kana Felix—who know how to push, hold, and elevate writers. We'll dive deep into what character truly is: how to build compelling characters from scratch, know them inside and out, and make them resonate with your audience. You'll walk away with at least one fully realized character you can't stop thinking about.

Who is this for?: If you keep getting notes that your characters are "flat," "unbelievable," or "boring"—this is for you. If you're struggling with any aspect of your screenplay, this is also for you (because it usually means you haven't found the root of your character). And if you're brand new to screenwriting, character should be your foundation. You're in the right place!
