Cash in on the search for compelling film scripts

24 May, 2017 - 07:34

Film producers here and around the world are constantly in search of compelling and original screenplays. You, on the other hand, have long dreamed of writing a script - but don't know where to begin.

The next How To Write a Screenplay course kicks off on June 1, 2017.

Revamped and fine-tuned after its successful launch in 2016, the programme is run by screenwriter and novelist Mich le Rowe and screenwriter Richard Beynon. It guides participants from the seed of an idea to a complete treatment of a screenplay.

Mich le and Richard forced me to take ideas and characters and actually craft them into a story, says one of the original participants, Sheona Mitchley. Their feedback was invaluable and I am so grateful to have had their guidance throughout the process.

Another participant was Nadine Cloete who says that the course gave me a new perspective on writing, one I am eternally graterful for.

Whether you have only the first vague stirrings of an idea for a movie, have already formulated that idea and want to take it forward, or simply want to find out how to go about writing a screenplay, this is the platform from which to launch your project.

By the end the course you'll have learnt to write a treatment, the blueprint, of your dream screenplay.
