Behind The Scenes

Imagine the story of a minor character from your favourite movie and then thrust them into the spotlight.

Film’s most compelling narratives often leave audiences wondering about the backstories of secondary characters. Choose one such character from your favourite movie—preferably one that’s been underexplored—and tell their story. You can follow their life before, during, or after the events of the film. This prompt asks you to consider the hidden layers of a character and expand the original narrative in a direction that the movie didn’t.
