Cracking Your Character & Story

Do your characters drive your story – or does your plot drive your characters? Film Independent welcomes screenwriter/actor Linas Phillips (Rainbow Time, Bass Ackwards) for a seminar on resolving this very issue. Linas will give you the tools you need to crack your story, with emphasis on exploring your characters’ negative beliefs and how to develop a plot that propels them to change.
