Most people think they can’t learn to write a script but it’s not rocket science we’ve all got more than one film idea in us. This screenwriting course is designed to break the myths with exercises, case studies and interactive tasks.

It’s about knowing how to get your ideas down on paper and turn them into film scripts. It’s about making a small shift and taping into your own experiences and turning them into a script or filmic proposal - turning a good idea into a compelling one and showing you how to best present yourself.

On this intensive one-week script writing workshop, we will give practical and creative exercises, personal feedback, film-making in class to help you get a better idea how to prepare yourself and develop an idea into a script for the market, tap into funding and write your way into the film industry.
