writing crime for television
Saturday 2nd May 2026 10.30-5 p.m. Online
Overview
Crime drama remains one of television’s most dynamic and enduring genres. This one-day online workshop explores how to craft compelling crime stories for the screen—stories that go beyond plot mechanics to reveal the emotional, psychological, and moral complexity of characters caught in high-stakes situations.
Participants will examine how point of view shapes audience empathy, how unreliable narrators and criminal protagonists can deepen mystery, and how legal and ethical constraints can become creative opportunities.

WRITING THE MICRO-FILM
One-day in-person workshop
Central London
Central London
Micro-films are the super-short narratives which win festival prizes. They're the 'cold opens' of TV episodes.
They're the bold, standalone sequences that begin, end or are the most memorable parts of feature films.
They're TV ads, music videos, trailers, public information films, internet memes and TikTok reels.
Attention spans are shrinking. Slots for films are exploding.
ALL filmmakers need to learn the logic of micro-films.
This workshop will uncover their deep structures.
And show you how to apply them.
