Character Masterclass

“I would urge any film practitioner of drama, or indeed any writer of the narrative form, to take Kira-Anne's course on character. I’ve been a writer, director and producer for over twenty years, but this course is a game changer. Her marvellously researched and executed course is hugely enlightening and makes palatable many otherwise complex concepts. I had epiphany after epiphany. It has helped me hugely as a screenwriter and has also had a significant impact on my approach as a director. Kira-Anne not only has a fabulously incisive understanding, but also has the humility, warmth and sheer humanity to convey the information so that it is readily absorbed and immediately useable. Do this course and just feel the empowerment that new understanding will bring! I cannot recommend it enough!!”

Wyndham Price, Writer/Director, Spinning Head Films (Winner BAFTA Cymru, Best Film)

“By the end of this course, you’ll know your characters better than you know yourself. I have yet to come across a workshop that goes into greater detail when plotting the personality, voice, and transformation of a character. Absolutely fascinating and invaluable to all fiction writers.”

Lili Kent, Writer

“I just wanted to reiterate how useful the course has been so far, I’m honestly enjoying it so much and it’s great to think about things in a new way — I thought I knew my book 3 main character, but I’m learning a lot about her as the weeks go on! The format of the course is excellent as well, the short videos are easy to engage with.”

Hannah K, Author

“I just wanted to say thank you for a brilliant course. It has been hugely interesting. It has made me rethink the detail in my characters, how they act and why. It has also reinforced some of the intuitive thinking that I'd had and built into my characters already. So thank you. There have also been things I've learnt about myself - traits I have and identify with, how I respond to characters I see on screen and how others in the group either respond differently or similarly. From that perspective, it was as much a personal journey. ”

GJ Sibson, Writer

“I spent five years and hundreds of dollars trying to find an authentic way to reconcile my main protagonist’s past with his present. One brainstorming session with Kira-Anne during her ‘Character Masterclass’ and she found the solution within ten minutes. Thanks for saving me a fortune on further coverage. I can’t thank you enough.”

Fiona Linton

“Great course! The course is structured really well, each section of the course builds on the last one. A lot of time has been spent ensuring the content, information shared, and pace are correct. The assignments reinforce the learning materials. I have learnt a lot and can apply the tools and techniques from this course to improve the characters, dialogue and stories for my scripts. Well worth it!”

Colette

“This course cover many, many, interesting points at a brisk pace that doesn't waste a second of your time. Well worth watching again - at least ten times !”

Mr Wilkinson

“Wonderful course, very very helpful in working out kinks in your own writing and sparking insightful questions and worksheets to help create new works or if you're just starting a new script. Can highly recommend this to any writer.”

Rekha Garton, Writer/Director

“Highly recommended! A great course, that is structured over many weeks with regular zoom meetings that allows you to delve into your characters, truly understand them and elevate your writing to a higher level. Kira-Anne is a great teacher, giving support along the way and I feel have the tools and in a much better position to start my 1st draft.”

Abid Khan, Writer/Director

“Definitely worth every penny - it's transformed my writing. ”
