Lunch with Beaufoy?
We've just spent an extraordinary two days staging our annual Serious Screenwriting event in partnership with BAFTA - and anyone who's anyone in the UK Film Industry was there with us. We'll be posting filmed highlights from the programme on BAFTA's site imminently - in the meantime, join us in congratulating our Moviescope Screenwriting Challenge winners AND find out about the Serious Screenwriting Development Scheme - you still have the chance to enter and win a lunch with Simon Beaufoy among other delights even if you were one of the unlucky ones who couldn't get a seat at the main event.

Can't get enough of Rob Ritchie?
The "rock star" of tutors (you heard it said from the BAFTA stage last weekend so it must be true) is hard at work again this month teaching more intensive programmes in his own brilliant style. First up is his Treatment Workshop, designed to take the fear out of treatment writing by considering the most effective ways of synopsising your drama plus giving an understanding of the function of treatments in the development process. It's coming up on Wednesday 22 June - click to sign up.
New September dates for Story Design
After a summer break, we'll be back with a full programme of training focussed on writers, producers, developers, distributors and animators. To kick off we've just announced the next intake of Story Design, a two-day screenwriting workshop which examines some of the more intricate elements of designing a story for the screen. Rob Ritchie, paired with Script Factory director Lucy Scher will explore the elements you need in addition to raw talent in order to tell your story on screen: the ability to shape a story over 90 odd minutes, keep an audience rooted to the screen for the duration and ensure that everyone is emotionally engaged with the plight of the characters as it unfolds. Ideal for any writer who feels ready for more 'advanced' training, this course aims to help you layer complexity and subtlety into your story design and develop a more sophisticated and satisfying screenplay. New dates just announced on 20 & 21 September - click for full information
