UK FILM COURSES

It’s in your heart, blood and soul. Epic fantasy. With detailed plots, extended timelines and resonant characters.

We get it and we love it too.

And so do audiences who want, love, and often NEED to be transported away to a place that exists only in a writer’s imagination.

A place where magic, science, nobility, kindness, and moral strength can all co-exist and at the centre of it all, human decency and fortitude win the day.

Fantasy and sci-fi is ALWAYS in demand, as a salve to troubling times – even as it serves as a reflection of those times. Existing fans are passionate and hungry for more worlds to explore.

You have this power too.

This class is run by screenwriter Bob Schultz. For more than 20 years, Bob has been training screenwriters , helping thousands of writers clarify their stories, reorganise their ideas and build confidence to bring the very best version of any writer, to the opportunities they create.

Feedback for other courses with Bob:
‘It was clearly structured, with brilliant advice and watching the clips was very helpful. It’s one of the best courses I’ve been on. The workshop part helped me look at my script in a new light – looking at those intense, emotion-laden, visually memorable moments which sum up relationship or theme. Brilliant!’

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘Both entertaining as well as informative!’
Jean-Claude Bragard // Filmmaker
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The workshop was very well structured with lots of good examples.’
Georgi Kostov // Screenwriter , Director , Producer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘It had great illustrative clips, alongside good context and also insight int how to apply it to our writing.’
Louise Say // Producer, Writer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘I now understand how to use these moments, and (as a director) it’ll help me craft them better. Watching the examples I realised that while ‘the moment’ was just seconds, the build up is also key, and these scenes were long and tense… actually much longer than I would have realised! It was so good! This was my second one with Bob and I will sign up for more. I also like that Bob feels like a friend and not a distant guru – thanks Bob!’
Lucy Campbell // Filmmaker
