TELLING TRUE STORIES FOR THE SCREEN
One-day, in-person, workshop in Central London
Friday, 6th March 2026
If you've found a true story that you know will make a great film or brilliant TV series,
but are finding the process knottier than you expected,
this is the workshop for you.
In the taught section, we look at the technical, legal and ethical challenges
that come with bringing true stories to the screen.
In the hands-on section, we work in small groups to figure out how
we could approach a range of true stories in different ways.
We also present our own true-story project to the room and then,
using the information gathered during the day, refine and re-deliver our presentations.
