During this Writing Workshop, Secrets To Creating A Dynamic Character Arc, you will learn that the secret to a successful story is NOT the plot. It's the character in your plot. The story is the character. The story is the character's growth and transformation, which is their character arc. The plot is there to force the character to grow.
Bankable actors fall in love with characters, they commit to the story and to making the film because they love the character and how the character grows. As do agents, who love the characters so much they sell the story to the highest bidding publisher. Readers and film going audiences also fall in love with unforgettable characters.
