003 - Character Development in a Screenplay

Which comes first: story or characters? As screenwriters, we use characters to reveal story just as much as we use story to inform our characters.

In this episode, NYU Film Professor John Warren, Adam Schaller, and Alexie Basil talk about building and developing characters for stories. They explore the symbiotic relationship between character and story, and share their favorite techniques for character development.
