Happy new year (while we can still say that…)! We are thrilled to be launching the first of our quarterly newsletters about ScriptWright, development, and all things writerly.
There have been some exciting changes at ScriptWright HQ. For starters….
We now have an Instagram feed!
Check out our account and give us a follow. We regularly post recommendations about the best TV and films as well as our events and public appearances.
Story surgeries at London’s film festivals
London Independent Film Festival
Your humble script analysts were recently invited to hold a workshop at the London Independent Film Festival, held in the Rich Mix cinema near Whitechapel. The evening was a great success, with the ScriptWright team answering a range of fascinating questions about development and how it benefits individual writers, as well as giving one-on-one advice to people in the audience who had burning questions and persistent niggles about their work. Check it out below!
Indie Clips
ScriptWright co-founder Maddy Fry also held a story surgery at the Indie Clips short film festival at Goldsmith’s University. Watch her session and interview below!
ScriptWright Meets
In September we launched the first in our interview series where we chat to writers about their craft. Playwright Kit Sinclair kindly dropped in to give us her engaging thoughts on the process of scriptwriting.
Watch it here. Keep and eye on our Instagram feed for the next one!
ScriptWright Thinks
ScriptWright co-founder Owen Findlay drew together his thoughts on our story surgeries to explain just exactly what he says when people ask what he does for a living ;)
Check it out on our blog here.
New website!
We thought that the SW website could do with some sprucing up, so we launched the new version earlier this year.
We even have a landing page!
