19. How to Find Great Characters for Your Stories — Samo Zeal

Your stories are only going to be as strong as your main character.  You don't find strong character's by accident.  It takes lots of hard work and determination. In this episode Wesley interviews Samo Zeal, who went through the Muse Storytelling process and was a part of a crew that told the story of a 94-year old granny who danced despair away.   When searching for the character they looked for uniqueness, desire and complexity. They also made sure that their film only focused on one person as a central character. Regardless of whether you film or not, hearing this process will make you a better writer and storyteller.
