THIS MONTH'S SPEAKEASY
A DOUBLE DOSE OF HORROR!
With special guests JOHNNY KEVORKIAN director of acclaimed films THE DISAPPEARED and AWAIT FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS and LUKE FOSTER award-winning screenwriter and development executive at IRON BOX FILMS Plus our usual Pitch Perfect session and, this month, the winners of the 25th Annual Euroscript Screenwriting Competition 2019 will be announced! Tuesday June 25th 7pm sharp Upstairs at The Wheatsheaf 25 Rathbone Place London W1T 1JB What is the Euroscript Speakeasy?
Every last Tuesday of the month we host an informal evening upstairs at The Wheatsheaf with professional screenwriters, producers, directors or development executives who discuss their work, share their tips for success and answer your burning questions. Previous guests/themes include: Julian Friedmann and Louisa Minghella (Blake Friedmann Agency) How to get an agent Andrea Gibb (screenwriter - SWALLOWS & AMAZONS) Adapting for the screen Jenny Lecoat (screenwriter - ANOTHER MOTHER'S SON) Writing a true story for the screen Tom Williams and Paul Katis (screenwriter/producer - CHALET GIRL, KAJAKI) Making short films as a way into the feature film market Paul Viragh (screenwriter - SEX & DRUGS & ROCK 'N' ROLL) How to take feedback on a script Pitching at the Speakeasy At each Speakeasy, three writers get to pitch their projects to a panel of guests and Euroscript team members and receive constructive feedback. IT COULD BE YOU! If you'd like to pitch, and haven't done so at a Euroscript Speakeasy before, buy your £8 ticket and then APPLY. The first three people to write in will get the pitching brief and have the chance to pitch at the next Speakeasy. THIS MONTH WE ARE PARTICULARLY SEEKING HORROR PITCHES |
To complement our Speakeasy theme of the month, here's a blog post with some good reasons why you should think about writing in the Horror genre - if you haven't already.
Not just because it's the most lucrative genre of them all, but also because it offers huge creative and intellectual challenges, opportunities to make truly cinematic stories, and the chance to reach really large audiences. If you're a practitioner and want to polish up your skills in this genre or a newcomer keen on exploring the elements that make it work, you can go for some deep immersion at our WRITING HORROR workshop on July 12. The workshop is aimed at leaving you with a sheaf of notes towards your own projects. By Ian Long |

OUR FEEDBACK SERVICES
|
SKYPE CONSULTANCY: Looking for someone to brainstorm ideas with and who can also give you detailed feedback on your script? We can arrange a consultancy very quickly for you to get the expert advice that you need. You can put ideas and questions directly to your editor. It doesn't matter where you are - no travelling is needed. Plus, breakthroughs often happen when you talk things through. BAROMETER REPORT: Is your screenplay market-ready? Should it be hitting industry desks? Or the shredder? The Euroscript Screenplay Barometer gives you a straight yes/no answer to this key question: ‘Yes’, your script’s brilliant, get it out as quickly as you can or ‘No’, not yet ready for dispatch. Our aim is to encourage you, and work with you to improve your script until it's market-ready. |
