It's the characters they are.

Whether you're writing a short film, feature film, web series, novel, or screenplay, unforgettable characters are the foundation of unforgettable stories.
Zero to Hero: Creating Unforgettable Characters is a practical, easy-to-read guide that teaches you how to create characters who feel real, make difficult choices, grow through conflict, and stay with audiences long after the credits roll.
Instead of overwhelming you with complicated theories, this book breaks character creation into simple, actionable steps using examples from some of the world's most memorable films and television shows.
Inside this book, you'll learn how to:- Build characters with clear goals, motivations, and meaningful stakes
