The Screenwriting Life with Meg LeFauve and Lorien McKenna

TSL WORKSHOPS EMAIL LIST: www.thescreenwritinglife.co/workshops

Friend of the show Dustin Lance Black is back to talk about the central lynchpin of a great film: the protagonist. Lance is known for his complicated heroes (often real people) who draw us in and don't let go. Today, we discuss how to draw a protagonist that will hold an audience's attention, and perhaps more importantly, what to avoid so that same audience won't lose interest.
