To support our community of filmmakers during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, we made the decision to remove the $50 fee for Sundance Collab Master Classes. As we meet this next moment and continue to support artists through our content, we are reinstating a discounted fee of $27 for on-demand recordings.

Both Master Class live event registration and on-demand recording access to this and more than 40 other Master Classes are included in Collaborator and All Access memberships. Upgrade today and get a free 14-day trial.

Master Classes are in-depth, interactive learning experiences focused on craft and career building and led by renowned industry experts. Topics include fiction and documentary filmmaking, TV writing and production, and navigating and succeeding in the entertainment industry. 

This is an edited version of Meg LeFauve's original 3-hour Master Class.  We hope the valuable information that remains included can help artists on their screenwriting journey.

This Master Class with Meg LeFauve, an Oscar-nominated screenwriter, will focus on the key elements of creating complex characters and building a compelling story and world. LeFauve will share what she's learned from 20 years in the business, both as a producer who developed live action scripts and as a writer. In this session, she will explore how a character's belief systems help define theme, arc, and plot movement.
