Seminar

 

Today’s film and TV heroines have never been so numerous or more diverse. From Juno to Mamma Mia! female audiences have a multitude of exciting, empowering and even cynical reflections of women’s lives today.

 

 One of the most important challenges for a screenwriter is the creation of a unique, compelling and emotionally complex protagonist - but what ifyour protagonist is a heroine? At a time when heroines are taking the screen by storm, and as stereotypical and limited female roles are on the wane, there’s still little out there to help screenwriters and development professionals grapple with the very different issues that female characters face.

 

Writing The Heroine’s Story Seminar is an intensive two day event which help participants ‘think female’. Looking at the heroine’s journey, gender issues and many aspects women’s lives, Helen helps writers apply these to screenplay narratives. Dramatic elements such as character, structure, plot, theme and conflict are all influenced by the gender of the main character, and Helen will show you why!
