You typically have an immediate sense of who your character is, what they like, where they live, their strengths and weaknesses, and how they relate to the world around them. What may not be as easy and might be considerably more difficult is writing your supporting characters - particularly when it is a large ensemble of characters that you need to introduce. It is just as important to develop your supporting characters as it is your main ones. Your supporting characters add tremendous value to the arch of your main character’s journey and therefore require a sincere investment to their development. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eA supporting character can be a sidekick, sibling, or best friend of the main character. Whoever they are, they have an important role to play in your story. The last thing you want is to leave the potential of the supporting character sitting on the back burner. It’s time to bring them up front and really brainstorm what they can bring to the table of your script. A supporting character can greatly enhance your subplot and move the general plot forward if you truly understand how to utilize them. We have the tools to help you master this exactly. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eJordan Barel \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eis a seasoned filmmaker, television coordinator, an award winning publisher, and business owner who founded\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e Loaded Barrel Studios, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003epublishing graphic novels and obtaining international awards, including the\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e Independent Publishing Book Awards (2012, 2013), The LA Book festival, the Geekie Awards ®, and many others. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eHe has optioned\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003ehis incredible books and screenplays with producers such as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eDavid Uslan, Brendan Deneen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e who has done work for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eMARVEL Entertainment and DC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eJeffrey Erb,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eAaron Berger\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e who has contributed to projects like \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eTURBO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eCRIMINAL MINDS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eJordan will demonstrate the effective approach on how to utilize your supporting characters to enrich your storytelling. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eJordan will discuss how your supporting characters can be utilized to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003ebring depth to your story\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e and connect it to the\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e Hero’s Journey \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eof the main character in your script.
