Are you a Writer, Producer or Director working in television, film, advertising or gaming? Are you keen to connect with audiences? Do you want to take your work to the next level, whilst identifying fresh approaches to distribution and rollout?

This 2-day workshop is led by internationally renowned story, crossmedia consultant Alison Norrington (BOOTH AT THE END, THE CHATSFIELD, THE LOEDOWN, Walt Disney Imagineering, Coca Cola). Its aim is to introduce you to the exciting possibilities that a digital strategy and experience design could bring to your projects.

What makes an idea for a documentary 'good'? How do you decide what information you need in your treatment? What's the best way of targeting the industry? Do you need a presenter, and if so, how do you find and hire them? Should you film a taster?

If you have a passion to make factual programmes and ideas you’re burning to get off the ground but need help to take them to the next stage, this 1-day course is for you.  

What is the Director’s role in shaping a screenplay?

A good script is the bottom line of any film project. Without it you don’t get the commission, the best actors, the desired result. Film and television are collaborative mediums, so how should a Director and a Writer collaborate to achieve the best outcome?

This workshop is for filmmakers intent on making an entry into directing or producing a short film, low-budget feature film or a TV drama.
