Introduction to Screenwriting, Screen Academy Scotland
Wed 3 Oct 2018 to Wed 20 Mar 2019
Longstanding and popular 22-week evening course. Explore your storytelling instincts, study the craft of screenwriting, workshop with your peers, and develop and write a commercial ten-minute film drama.

The course is aimed at those with little or no prior experience of writing drama for the screen. Those who’ve completed the course have continued to develop their screenwriting practice in a variety of ways. Some have found collaborators to produce their short film screenplays. Many have gone on to craft speculative television drama and feature film screenplays and have formed supportive screenwriters’ groups to provide feedback on works-in-progress. Others have placed highly in national and international screenplay competitions. Several have gained places on MA Screenwriting programmes at Screen Academy Scotland, Bournemouth and elsewhere.

It’s delivered by multi-award winning Edinburgh-based film and television producer, screenwriter and experienced Writers' Factory lecturer, Nigel R. Smith.
