Courses

You’ve asked us for more online courses, so our commitment for 2025 is to offer more of our training programmes via Zoom. Starting with our Short Film Story Design course in January. We will, however, continue to develop our programme of live workshops because nothing beats being in the room together.

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.

The Script Factory helped me become a better writer who’s now more confident to tell a story and brave enough to celebrate my own unique voice.
