Character Masterclass for Screenwriters

Through blended learning, combining videos with live Zoom classes, development exercises and tutor feedback, this 11-week comprehensive online programme will take you from first ideas for your characters to first draft.

You'll be drawing on insights from psychology as you take a deep dive into your characters to ensure that they are engaging, complex and truly memorable. 

We believe that character-first development is central to great storytelling, but is a craft that just like structure can be taught.

Please note that this course has been designed with accessibility in mind. All videos on this course are subtitled and closed captions are provided on live Zoom training.
