Sexualised, victimised, demonised and undermined, even the most iconic female characters are at risk of being made bland and unthreatening when they appear in film scripts. When asked to name strong female characters, it is a sad statement on the lack of interesting roles for women when Thelma and Louise are still being cited, 21 years after the film was released.
In response to regular queries about how to write female characters, this course has been developed to help participants write strong and believable women who drive the action and provide alternative versions of femininity and womanhood.
