Summary
Actors, directors, and producers want to see dimensional characters, capable of winning Academy Awards. They want breadth, depth, focus, and direction to their characters, but they also want dimensionality - characters that are original and act-able. In this program, script consultant and screenwriting coach Dr. Linda Seger shows how to deepen characters through layering, create subtext, transform characters, and use dialogue to add further breadth and depth.
