You’ve written a script. Now what?

This practical half-day workshop will help you take your screenplay from finished draft to submission-ready sample. We’ll look at what makes a strong script sample, how to edit and refine your work, and how to identify and present your strongest material for competitions, schemes, producers and other industry opportunities.

We’ll cover key scriptwriting fundamentals along the way, with practical exercises and time to work on your own material. Suitable for writers at any stage who have a script or project they want to develop and take out into the world.

No previous experience required.

Please note: We will be cancelling this course if the minimum numbers to run it aren’t met.

There are limited bursary places available for people receiving benefits, please email info@somersetfilm.com to enquire.
