Write it right: the screenwriting summer school

This course treats writing as part of a living filmmaking culture. You will test ideas aloud, hear your scenes come alive as they are performed, discuss and refine them through encounter. Peer discussion forms the spine of the week, with writers immersed in the craft through pitching, writing, reading and responding to each other’s work in a spirit that prizes candour and technique.

Alongside this shared effort, you will meet producers who illuminate how scripts travel through development, production and beyond; actors and a director who bring industry perspectives into the room.
Actor-led readthroughs expose the rhythms, tensions and blind spots of your scenes.
Teaching combines dynamic seminars, real-world case studies, collaborative group sessions, pitching workshops and tailored one-to-one mentoring.

Across the week, you will actively shape your story’s character, genre and structure while developing the confidence to articulate your ideas with clarity and conviction.
