Courses
For 2024 we are continuing to host in-person workshops in Soho venues and building a network of writers and filmmakers that we’d love you to be a part of. We promise that we are working towards bringing you more on-line courses but, as collaborative film-makers, nothing beats the creative energy of being in the room together.
To hear the passion in each other’s voices.
To see the flashes of inspiration on each other’s faces.
To thrash out ideas together.
To debate what makes us laugh, cry, fear, dream, believe, care.
To maybe even occasionally all talk at the same time.
Can we lure you away from your screens for a day?
Because our workshops aren’t just about developing your skills and craft, they are also about networking with your fellow film-makers and finding your next collaborators. We have always taught writers, producers and developers side by side and our new programme has been designed to do that too.
