'A useful guide to kickstart your screenplay after those many, many years of procrastination!'  (participant)

If your ambition is to write a film script, or you need a refresher course because you're stuck, then this intensive weekend will give you the tools you need.

By the end of the course you will have the beat outline of your first feature script, stepped out structurally from beginning to end, and you'll have the expertise you need to begin writing the screenplay.

The course is designed for a wide range of people:

• for those who write for other media but have never written a screenplay;
• for those who've never written anything before;
• for those who work in other areas of the film business and would like to understand how screenplay writers spend their day;
• or for those who've read the books, been on the courses and are still stuck on page 45.

'Even if you don't have a film idea, come along and be inspired.  You'll be surprised!  (participant)

Screenplay writing is like no other - it is probably most akin to writing poetry while you've got to think like a photographer.  Intensively hands-on you will be writing and brainstorming throughout the course.  By the end, you will have the beat outline of your first feature-length script.

We don't give you lectures, we get you writing so come with plenty of pencils and lots of paper.
