Writing Women Who Change
Oscar-nominated Pixar screenwriter Meg LeFauve (Inside Out, Captain Marvel) talks with Ruth Mellaerts about characters and their creators. Why do so few female film characters truly transform? On agency, change, and storytelling.
What to expect?
Meg LeFauve shares insights from her work at Pixar (Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur), Marvel (Captain Marvel), and her experience as a producer and teacher. Ruth Mellaerts connects this to her research on alternative dramaturgy and female perspectives.
How do dominant story structures influence the development of female characters – and their writers? What impact do role models have on young audiences and the creators of tomorrow? And is it always the character who must change, or sometimes the world around them?
This activity is part of Ruth Mellaerts' research project Reclaiming your voice through transmedia.
