One of the most active independent training initiative in South Africa, The Writing Studio has been presenting workshops and courses in scriptwriting and filmmaking throughout South Africa during the past 19 years with the aim of developing the craft of writers and filmmakers.

The 19 years saw the birth of many new, original scripts that echo the unique voice of South African writers, with stories reflecting specific cultures, experiences and histories that embrace universal qualities.

At present, The Write Agency has more than 20 fully developed screenplays.


It has never been a more fruitful time to be a scriptwriter in South Africa.

The production of local films and international co-productions have increased drastically during the last few years and everyone is looking for South African stories.

This year The Write Agency is establishing representation in Los Angeles and the UK.
