Big Screen Symposium & Script to Screen
TV & Film
In this masterclass, screenwriter Sophie Henderson explores how to build a story
with empathy that connects with its audience. She argues for character authenticity
over likeability and talks about putting your whole self into your script. This session
is presented by Department of Post. Sophie is introduced by actor and director
Lucy Wigmore.
This session is from the Big Screen Symposium held in Auckland on the 4th and 5th of December 2020.
