ABOUT THE WEBINAR

A great television series is always anchored by a great main character. A leading man or woman who is our compelling guide through a fascinating new world. An active hero who drives the story forward with their surprising decisions. They can be pure charisma or pure evil, but must never be boring. Love them or hate them, we can't stop watching their exploits.

But not all leads are what are known as "Power Protagonists."

A Power Protagonist is a dramatic force of nature, a "star" on the page and on the screen. Their unique skill is only matched in size by their Achilles Heel--the vulnerability that threatens to destroy them at every turn. Although they may be a combination of some familiar elements, they CANNOT be a cliché of a character. The Power Protagonist stands out as a wholly original and complete creation.

For a series to become iconic, it must introduce a Power Protagonist that will tap into the zeitgeist and quickly establish its place in the cultural lexicon. The great ones of recent history are synonymous with their shows. Tony Soprano...Walter White...Don Draper...Raylan Givens. This webinar will dissect past icons and the new ones still being built, such as Jimmy McGill in Better Call Saul, Carrie Mathison in Homeland, Bobby Axelrod in Billions, Frank Underwood in House of Cards and Olivia Pope in Scandal.

In this era of Peak TV, there are a LOT of protagonists, but not enough with the potential to become cultural icons. For a writer to truly stand out in such a competitive, crowded field, it is crucial that they create a series with a Power Protagonist, and, of course, a delicious villain. This webinar will also delve into the psyche of the Arch-rival Antagonist!

Television is all about character, and character begins with your leading role, so make sure you craft a memorable one. This presentation is the first step in unlocking the secrets to realizing that goal.

Your instructor, Daniel Calvisi, is a renowned Story Analyst, and his groundbreaking book "Story Maps: TV Drama: The Structure of the One-Hour Television Pilot" has been endorsed by many industry professionals who are now using his method in their work.

Purchase also includes a free Story Map of the pilot episode of BETTER CALL SAUL, written by Vince Gilligan & Peter Gould.

My dogs kill every toy. They arrived very agressive chewers. These have lasted way longer than most balls have. Great value

If your dog loves tennis balls, you NEED these
Raising any puppy is tough. Raising a German Shepherd puppy has often left me questioning my life choices. So I was ecstatic the day that my 60-lb puppy decided that he loves tennis balls and occupied himself for 2 hours without needing constant intervention. Naturally, my immediate response was to make sure we had a constant supply of large tennis balls for dogs available. Now my puppy loves mischief, but he’s not an aggressive chewer. And I was irritated to discover that every brand and size of tennis ball broke within an hour max of play. By simply playing fetch and batting the ball around with his paws, every single tennis ball split into 2 halves. We needed something better! These squeaky balls are exactly that! They come in a 2-pack. I gave my pup the 1st one a week ago and it’s still going strong! We play fetch in the backyard, he brings it into the doggy pool with him, it rolls around in the dirt and can be rinsed off easily. It’s by far his favorite toy, and he takes it everywhere with him. Finally a squeaky ball that can keep up with my dog! These are the perfect size, texture, bounce, squeak, everything. These are the ONLY squeaky balls I will buy from now on. Five stars for sure!

Durable squeaky ball for chewers
Color: Blue+Red, Color: Blue+Red
These are great! My 54 lb GSP loves them and it’s the only thing she cannot destroy! She’s currently 1 year and we have had the balls for several months. We have this brand and similar ones too. They float, bounce, and squeak. The ridges are good for chewing.

Great squeaky balls
Color: Blue+Red
Awesome! My super chewers haven’t been able to destroy it. It’s been about 3 months now and it still squeaks and bounces like new! It’s a bit tougher than normal squeaky toys but so worth it for aggressive chewers.

Awesome for hyper dogs
Color: Blue
AWESOME - I have a dog that just won't stop trying to get me to play with him ALL day! I turn this thing on and he goes nuts and tires himself out...without any help from me. The cover got torn off and torn up in minutes but he doesn't care. He just wants this ball. My other dogs, who are older, aren't really interested. But if you have a hyper dog this is the thing for you and them!
