UK FILM COURSES

From pitch to pilot – work on your original TV drama with leading industry professionals.

With weekly teaching and group workshopping on Thursday evenings in the Curtis Brown offices on Regent Street, this course will help you hone your craft and make real progress with your TV script. It’s ideal for those looking for a practical in-person alternative to a postgraduate screenwriting course.

Across three months, 15 talented writers will each develop an idea for a drama serial, write a 60-minute pilot episode and evolve a plan for further episodes – supported by the expert teaching of experienced screenwriter and producer Marston Bloom.

Plus you’ll attend two masterclasses from leading TV industry professionals, including Curtis Brown’s Theatre, Film and Television agents, and an in-depth one-to-one tutorial from an experienced producer/script editor.

To apply:

Please apply with the opening of your pilot script (up to fifteen pages – maximum 2,200 words) in industry standard format, 300 words synopsising your entire pilot episode and 300 words synopsising the rest of your serial. All of these materials need to be in the same document, as you can only upload ONE PDF file.

The CBC team will select applicants based on the quality of the writing sample provided. The deadline for applications is midnight, end of day Sunday 13 October and we will respond to applicants by Thursday 17 October.
