SCREENWRITER/FILMMAKER
On this page, I have gathered resources and services that may be of value to fellow screenwriters.

character descriptions
I'm always interested to know how pro writers describe their characters. I provide links here to pages I've created that only contain character names and their descriptions from well-known films or TV shows.
