Have you got an idea for a Film, TV drama or animation?
Have you ever wondered how TV dramas get made and what goes into distilling drama into compelling, revealing moments?
If you’re curious and would like to explore some of the key elements to writing drama for the screen, then sign up for this Introduction to Screenwriting course.
I’ll cover structure, character, dialogue and plot twists and get you started with fun and creative exercises.
We’ll look at the plethora of amazing TV that’s out there and dig into close readings of scripts to see how and why they’re working.
Stories are for everyone and never is that truer than in TV. If you have an interest in any of the above, I’d love to work with you and help develop your ideas!
