23 Sep 2026 @ 06:30pm
Join NYWIFT for this three-part virtual master class, “Character Building for Film & Television with Pamela Gray” to deepen your relationship with your main characters, discover things you don’t know about them, distinguish between what they want vs. what you want, give you insight into secondary characters, and help you move your story forward or take it in a different direction as you and your characters journey together.
Class started September 23, but you can still catch the next two sessions on September 30 and October 7 (plus access the recording of session one) if you register now!
