Our guests, from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, will discuss their journey into screenwriting, sources of inspiration and writing process. Having developed their skills in writers’ rooms, talent labs and screenwriting competitions, and built up their credits in short films, children shows, theatre and TV drama, they are now stepping into feature films. 

With references ranging from Amadeus to Ghost in the Shell, the speakers will share their themes and obsessions, and how they are sharpening their style. Join us to celebrate the power of storytelling. This event is supported by WGGB – The Writers’ Union.
