012 - #1 Mistake Screenwriters Make

from The Young Screenwriters Podcast Hosted by Young Screenwriters

Passive protagonists are one of the most common problems in screenplays—from seasoned screenwriters and newbies alike. Instead of driving the story forward and making active choices, these characters let the story come to them and then react. In this episode, screenwriters Alexie Basil and Adam Schaller examine how to spot a passive protagonist in your own work, why it matters, and how to transform them into an integral part of your story engine.
