Character Depth

Part 2 of 4 | Deep Craft With Don Maass: Character Depth

Live on ZOOM

Creating likable or admirable protagonists whom we care about is only the beginning of creating characters with enduring resonance. Great characters are also great human beings who undergo not only their tasks, but the journeys of living. This hands-on workshop explores the often-underutilized aspects of protagonists’ humanity: seeking, striving, warring internally, progression through life stages, grappling with greater questions, and searching for the self.

This is part 2 of a 4-part session, but the lessons being taught work as a stand alone workshop.

Class link will be sent prior to the event, and after the class you'll have access to rewatch for 30 days.
