Looking for a writer?
The Script Factory comes into contact with a vast range of writers at different stages in their career, and sees an enormous number of feature screenplays.
Our knowledge of these writers and their projects means we have a huge resource which can be of use to development personnel and producers. We may well know the writer or the project you are looking for.
Writers contact us for a number of reasons but the ones we know best - and the ones we can recommend to you - are those who have taken part on one of our long-term training programmes, or who we are working on a one to one basis with.
We have recently been involved with 120 new filmmakers selected from across the UK to make a Digital Short film, who attended Digi Shorts Training with The Script Factory in early 2008. You can read about them here.

The programme had three intakes in London from 2002-04, and subsequently transferred to the West Midlands for a further two intakes in 2005.
The Script Factory Writers' Group was a second UK Film Council-funded programme which gave 30 writers per year access to Script Factory Masterclasses.
SCENE insiders was our flagship European training programme for filmmakers across the continent which ran from 2004-08. Designed for writers, directors, producers, developers and readers, the programme made links between all sides of the industry. Click here to find out more.
