Once again, Jamie Nash, author of Save the Cat!® Writes for TV and the Save the Cat!® Beat Sheet Workbook, delivers screenwriting tactics that are easily understood and actionable.
Interviewed by perceptive screenwriter Lovinder Gill, Jamie talks about how you can:
- Develop 3-dimensional characters who can arc through your story’s beats
- Create both a broken compass and a rooting resume to understand your protagonist’s wants and needs
- Understand your Story DNA—your hero/goal/obstacle & stakes
- Use the Save the Cat! genres to brainstorm your story ideas
- Create work that is “you on a plate”—something you care deeply about
