THE CATALYST, THE COUNSELOR, THE CORPSE, and THE CANDY: Getting The Most From Your Secondary Characters 

It’s impossible to imagine Minari without Yuh-Jung Youn’s hopeful grandmother, The Favourite without the Emma Stone’s scheming ladies maid, Get Out without Lil Rei Howery’s loyal TSA agent, I, Tonya without Allison Janney’s psychotic “ice” mother, or Dallas Buyers Club without Jared Leto’s heartbreaking Rayon. These performances join a pantheon that spans from Claude Rains in Casablanca and Marilyn Monroe in Some Like it Hot to Faye Dunaway in Chinatown, Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse Now, Tilda Swinton in Michael Clayton, and Alan Arkin in Little Miss Sunshine.

This six-hour workshop offers a new paradigm with which to create and deepen your secondary characters and ways to use them to incite, complicate, and structure your plots and support and illuminate your protagonist. 

I’m offering an additional Q&A session for 15 participants on a first-come first-served basis which will run a half-hour each day, after the lecture is done.

WEBINAR REGISTRATION: $70.00

WEBINAR plus Q&A: $95.00
