ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Taught by psychotherapist Dr. Donna Dennenfelser!

Successful TV series and movies have one thing in common, they have characters that are relatable and believable. The creation of these characters all begins with well thought out psychological back stories. Developing a backstory for your characters involve many decisions on the part of the writer. All psychological flaws can be traced back to childhood and environmental conditions one grew up in. Character flaws are then exasperated with the stresses of adulthood.

The TV series, "Necessary Roughness," was based on the life of Dr. Donna Dannenfelser when she served as the mental health clinician to the New York Jets. When USA Network picked up the show they told her, "If your writers can get on the page what you just told us we will have an award winning show." It was her character, and the characters she described that brought USA Network their award winning show.

This webinar is presented to you by Dr. Donna Dannenfelser, psychotherapist, producer, writer and script consultant. This webinar will help you find and identify the best character flaws enabling your characters to jump off the page and onto the screen. Learn from a psychotherapist turned writer, co-executive producer and script consultant the fundamental elements of developing character flaws, where they originate, how they manifest, and how best to incorporate them in your script to produce legitimate conflict among your characters.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • How to find resources to a plethora of personality flaws, whether they be little quirks, emotional/physiological conditions, or full blown personality disorders.
  • How to identify the best character flaws that will serve your story and why.
  • How character flaws are triggered by environmental circumstances and when best to have them show up in your script.
  • How to peel back layers of a personality and carefully introduce seeds of a disorder and when to have that disorder present itself in the most believable way.
  • How and when a character flaw should be discovered in your story, whether subtly or dramatically.
  • How to weave complications into your story that will trigger the character's flaws while serving the story and moving it along.
  • How to use a combination of character flaws with the personalities in your story and how to decide if it serves your story.

WHO SHOULD LISTEN?

  • Beginning writers who want to sell their work.
  • Professional writers who want to go deeper in developing their characters.
  • Writers who know they have a great story but also know that their characters are missing something.
  • Producers who shape stories and are involved in character development.

Taking forever but worth it
Size: 1-Panel, Size: 1-Panel
Love the product. However, trying to take the screws etc out of its box, it’s almost impossible due to the adhesive inside it. I have neck and arm issues so for me it was even more difficult. Adhesive stuck to each washer and screw so I had adhesive all over my hands then I had to get it off of the items.

Solid piece; easy to assemble. I bought 2 more.
Color: White With Silver Handle, Size: 24x30
I don't write many reviews but this is a genuinely good cabinet! I checked out Lowe's and was underwhelmed with the quality of what they had on hand so I bought this. It feels like solid construction and was pretty easy to assemble (though I consider myself handy). It looks great, it's got a nice amount of storage space, and it feels like a good value overall IMO. Maybe it's a touch on the pricy side, but in the end, I feel like I got my money's worth. The one knock is that they don't really give instructions on how to install the piece of wood it sits on (called a French Cleat). They gave three drywall anchors with some very long screws. One of my French cleat holes was in front of a stud so I had to use my own screw to mount that one. Other than that, great piece overall and in fact I bought 2 more!

Awesome cabinet
Color: White With Silver Handle, Size: 24x30
I love this cabinet. It was extremely easy to assemble - instructions were easy to follow and assembly went smooth. I liked it so much I ordered a second one. It’s very spacious and it was great to have an adjustable shelf - doors were easy to adjust and all of the needed hardware was included. It really looks great in our bathroom.

Quality bathroom cabinet. Easy to build yourself, but heavy for one person to hang.
Color: White With Silver Handle, Size: 24x30, Color: White With Silver Handle, Size: 24x30
Finally, a product that the customer has to build, that is worth the price paid. This cabinet is extremely well made. The quality of the soft close hinges is also very good, and totally adjustable. The exterior of the cabinet, the finish, which is moisture proof, is also very well done. My husband put the cabinet together alone. He remarked , all the holes lined up, making putting it together easy, and fast. It was simple to follow the instructions, taking him about 30 to hang time. I am very pleased with this purchase, so much so, I will be purchasing this same cabinet for our upstairs bathroom.

Recommend, sturdy, good hardware, easy hang
Color: Navy Blue With Silver Handle, Size: 24x30
This is quite nice. It is sturdier than I expected. The way it hangs is really nice, it will be easy to lift off to paint the wall. The hinges are nice and soft close. One bad thing is it is quite smelly right away. I keep forgetting to keep the doors open to air that out so every time I open it I am still hit with the bad chemical smell. There were also sticky areas around the edges from the packaging that I had to work hard to get off and still don’t have quite all of it off.
