Professional Qualifications

MetLab – Metropolitan University (May 2006 - Present)
A year long part-time course where each student takes a commercial idea and develops it into a feature length screenplay to take to Cannes 2007. I work with a professional script editor and each week a guest speaker talks about a particular aspect of the film industry.

The Script Factory’s Script Reading Course (February 2006)
An intensive 2 day course spread over several weeks in which time we were given homework assignments to report back on produced and unproduced feature screenplays. The lessons covered key areas of a reader’s report; synopsis, premise, structure, character, dialogue, pace, visual grammar and a conclusion.

Intensive Introduction to Screenwriting (January 2006)
A 4-week course where writers learned the basics of screenwriting through exercises and lessons. We also worked on a short script for discussion and feedback within the group.

The Visitation – Short Film (September 2005)
I acted as a runner on this short film shot in Epping Forest. Duties included driving the cast and crew plus checking equipment.

Raindance Writer’s Lab with Elliot Grove – Screenplay Course (November 2004 to January 2005)
A weekly group that looked at the business of writing scripts, from initial idea to getting it sold. A major part of it was discussing our own work within the group.
