Script Writing Schemes

Every so often, Screen South will run a script writing scheme, such as the ‘Dreamcatcher’, in which the successful applicants were given support including the opportunity to work with Chris Vogler, an established script writer from the US.

We would like to make writers in the South East aware of alternative schemes/workshops that are available, enabling you to experience the wealth of opportunities the region has to offer.
