Courses

You’ve asked us for more online courses, so our commitment for 2025 is to offer more of our training programmes via Zoom. This Spring we are bringing back the Script Factory’s flagship Script Reading programme as a 5 week online course.

But if you can join us in person, we’d really love the chance to get to know you and work creatively with you. 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 programmes have all been designed to do that too.

  • Script Reading For Film & TV

    The Script Factory’s flagship training course is back! Learn a structured approach to analysing and assessing scripts and writing professional script reports. This highly practical course runs online on Wednesday evenings for five weeks.

    Next course starts Wednesday June 11th

  • Nurturing New Talent

    A one day course for script readers, developers and producers exploring the practical process of script development. Join us to hone your analysis skills and refine your creative working process.

    We will schedule this workshop again in Autumn 2025. This is also the perfect networking event for anyone working in script development.

  • Raising The Stakes

    Take your understanding of feature film structure to the next level with this one-day workshop on dramatic conflict. Explore how to hone your film idea to deliver the greatest jeopardy, the most compelling character journeys and the strongest meaning.

  • Short Film Story Design

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.
