Larger Than Life: Characters for Screen and Page

3 Credits.

A workshop devoted to creating complex characters for screenplays and short fiction. Students will examine memorable film, television, and literary characters, and most importantly, observe and listen to the people in their own lives and larger culture. They'll learn craft from accomplished writers, but ultimately develop fresh, persuasive characters drawn from the world around them. Short written and visual exercises and a longer, written, final project. Students should contact the instructor with any questions.
