THE WRITE DRAFT
Advanced Workshop for Scriptwriters

Are you tired of talking about writing your screenplay?

Do you want to turn your thoughts into action and complete a professional draft of a screenplay for feature film, or a script for television?

Empower yourself to take control and write the screenplay of your dreams that will be made into a film that will be seen by millions of people worldwide, and immortalised on DVD.

This practical workshop is ideal for writers who have completed The Write Journey workshop and grasp the principles of writing a screenplay for feature film, or script for television.

The workshop will:

  • Guide you through the process of writing your screenplay
  • Allow for direct feedback from other writers
  • Give you an opportunity to discover whether or not your story works
  • Uncover weaknesses in your story, structure and characters
  • Explore the strengths of your story and characters
  • Explore your story to its full dramatic, comedic or tragic potential
  • Make the most of what's still in your head
  • Allow for a complete first draft to be read and evaluated
  • Prepare you to complete a professional draft that is ready to be filmed

The workshop consists of an intensive weekend workshop, followed by individual one-on-one sessions.
