Recording: Imperfect Heroes and Excellent Anti-Heroes with Donald Maass
Heroes have issues, and anti-heroes have codes. The fundamentals of flawed and dark protagonists are well known, but beyond the basics lie many possibilities for creating imperfect characters who fascinate us. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore new methods of making non-traditional characters feel heroic. Crooks, bitches, killers, and monsters have all captivated us. So have characters with unfamiliar backgrounds and value systems that we, at first, may find strange. Learn how to turn characters we might dislike into characters we will love.
