MA Screenwriting

By London Film School

An intensive one-year programme that develops the writer’s original voice, embeds professional practice and enhances employability.   At LFS you will gain expertise and experience that form the foundations of your professional screenwriting practice. You will forge relationships and develop networks that propel you into the film and television industries.   MA Screenwriting focuses on the development of the individual screenwriter’s voice. You will be supported and challenged throughout your one year MA as you explore that voice through your screenwriting. You will work collaboratively within a diverse, international cohort and within the conservatoire atmosphere of LFS.   The development of your feature screenplay, at the heart of your MA, is undertaken in small Feature Development Groups of 3 or 4 students, chaired by a tutor. Regular Group meetings are structured around the giving and receiving of feedback and the deep exploration of your feature project from initial idea through several draft screenplays.   The ambition and variety of students’ screenplays reflect both the depth of their creativity and the breadth and diversity of their backgrounds and interests. In addition to your feature screenplay you will have opportunities to write short screenplays and to develop a television series idea.

All About Writing

all about writing

All About Writing was founded in 2007 by two writing professionals, novelist Jo-Anne Richards and scriptwriter Richard Beynon. We are passionate about writing and have devised our courses to help communicate that passion – plus the skills that make it all much more than an academic exercise – to others with a similar calling. Operating from South Africa and the United Kingdom, we offer courses that promote good writing. They include creative writing and scriptwriting courses, coaching and mentoring programmes as well as workshops and writing retreats including our annual retreat in Venice, Italy and our annual Cotswolds writing weekend. The All About Writing team – here’s who we are We believe our greatest skill in All About Writing has been to bring together an unbeatable assembly of global expertise. All that we have achieved in our lives individually has coalesced into a collective set of skills capable of providing any help you could need, at any stage of a writing project. Here is what we can offer you As a company, we are based equally in the UK and South Africa. Our experience covers: Eight fiction titles and seven non-fiction books, published in the UK, Europe and South Africa Over 100 documentaries Well over a thousand scripts for feature films and TV series Podcasting for a European audience Journalism in Europe and South Africa. We can offer you the benefits of our book-learning, which includes: A PhD in Creative Writing A Masters in Creative Writing A post-Masters degree in Journalism. We have: Provided assessments and edited manuscripts for publishers Supervised post-graduate writing students Acted as examiners and external examiners for post-graduate writing programmes. Collectively, we have won the Crime Writers’ Association Debut Dagger Award and been nominated for the International Dublin Literary Award, the Sunday Times Fiction Prize, the Gouden Uil European book award, best Journalism Book and best Travel Book in the Netherlands. We have been short-listed for the M-Net Book Prize. Together, we have been nominated for an Oscar (for a documentary), and an Emmy. We have won a Mail & Guardian Short Films Prize, a Special Jury Award at Skip City International (Japan), a Banff World TV Award (Canada), numerous SAFTAs (South African Film and Television Award), an Idem Scriptwriting award for children’s drama, an Artes award for comedy, and the Andrew Murray – Desmond Tutu Prize. We have produced documentaries that premiered at the Berlin Film Festival, have been shown at Hot Docs and Cannes and on the The Guardian’s documentary channel. Complementary skills Our skills mesh to provide a strong foundation. Journalism taught us accuracy, clarity, the importance of research, and a strong beginning. Writing for film and television has strengthened our understanding of scenes, dialogue, and showing rather than telling. Fiction skills can brighten non-fiction, while non-fiction provides a strong basis of reality and believability for fiction writers. Perhaps most importantly, we have placed at your disposal not only our successes but our failures, our strengths and weaknesses, and our vulnerabilities. We bring you what we’ve learnt in all humility, understanding exactly what is involved in being a writer. We know what you need, and we’ll give it with our characteristic blend of honesty and kindness. This is who and what we are. No matter who you are, or what you need, we believe we have the understanding and expertise to provide you with the skills, to hold your hand and give you objective, compassionate and knowledgeable advice on the way forward. simonstownJo-Anne Richards is an internationally published novelist with a PhD in Creative Writing from Wits University. Her first novel, The Innocence of Roast Chicken, was originally published by Headline Review in the UK, and has recently been rereleased as one of the prestigious Picador Africa Classics collection.

He has written for – or headed the writing teams of – many of country’s most popular soaps from Isidingo to Scandal and S’gudi S’naysi.

Katy Schutte

katy schutte

As an artist I work with shared truth and autobiography to create theatre and improvised theatre with a sense of nostalgia that asks how perspective has changed us. I deep dive into genres like storytelling, science fiction and folk horror to create a mood and a washing line of tropes to build my original work around. I either make transient work through long form improvisation or write a script and edit through collaboration and audience reactions. There is always an element of audience involvement - small or large - that changes the piece each time. My artwork retells my personal history, my passions and my fears in a way that allows others to unlock theirs." Katy Schutte is one of the UK's original long form improvisers. She performs and teaches all over the world, is Head Teacher and Course Designer for Hoopla (the UK's largest improv school), was Co-Founder/Director at the International Improv Station and has been one of The Maydays since their founding year in 2004 with stints as Director and Artistic Director. She is half of legendary sci-fi improv duo Project2 and author of The Improviser's Way: A Longform Workbook, which is published by Nick Hern Books. Katy trained at Second City and iO Chicago and with teachers from the Annoyance, UCB, Groundlings, The Magnet and lots of other places. Katy also plays in slow burn longform show Katy and Rach, has toured with Fluxx, improvised musicals with Music Box, The Maydays and Baby Wants Candy, co-created the Destination podcast and has guested in countless shows including Messing with a Friend, Criminal, The Playground, the London and Liverpool Improvathons, Grand Theft Impro, Séance Fiction, Whirled News Tonight and The Armando Diaz Experience. Along with Chris Mead and Tony Harris, she was in the first ever improv show in Virtual Reality and continues to work on the bleeding edge of technology in The Galaxicle Implosions. She has performed in Hoopla's Saturday night shows Tightrope and Speechless, the West End show Yes Queens and toured festivals with WrongCom. Katy is thrilled to be a team member of London queer improv group Hell Yeah! and hip hop improv team Track 96.
