One of the most challenging aspects of screenwriting is character development. The reason for this is because it is so easy to create characters that are simply carbon-copies of one another.

With this audiobook, I take away all the guesswork by honing in on the top 12 elements that are needed to create characters that are beautifully human, authentic, compelling, and three-dimensional. Step into my office and let's get started!

The work of Stanley Kubrick amounts to a sustained reflection on the male condition: past, present, and future.
