UK FILM COURSES

Great screenplays have a clear and personal authorial voice but most screenwriting advice wants to bend your ideas to fit someone else's shape.

My 9 week course explores the art of telling stories for the screen in a way that will empower you to tell stories in your own voice.

Demystifying screenwriting both creatively and commercially I'll show you how genre rules, structural constraint and even a producer’s mad notes can all actually be used to free you from expectation and create something unique.

Any level of experience is welcomed, whether you are a newcomer with a passion or a pro stuck in a rut, this course will provide you with a set of tools that will help you more quickly understand what your story is and how best to frame it for the producers, directors, actors and audiences you want to fall in love with it.

Takes place in person in London or via Zoom from anywhere.
