Courses

You’ve asked us for more online courses, so our commitment for 2025 is to offer more of our training programmes via Zoom. We kick off with our Short Film Story Design course in January. Then in February we are bringing back the Script Factory’s flagship Script Reading programme.

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.
