Award-winning producer and BAFTA member Carl Schoenfeld is running this popular screenwriting workshop for the 31st time this October. It’s aimed at writers with experience in characterisation, structure and genre – to welcoming those crossing over from other formats like novels, plays and journalism. The workshop starts with a discussion of the beat sheet as a foundation to map out the story. Feature film writers then share 10 pages each week towards a film script, whilst TV writers first set out characters, story world and episode structure before writing a pilot. Attendees engage in ‘table reads’ of everyone’s writing, leading to both nurturing and challenging feedback.

Previous participants have had their work accepted into prestigious festival labs, and have had work optioned and produced, including on BBC and Netflix.

Starts 7pm, 1 October 2026 on Zoom.

Price: £280 full, WGI discount price £240 before 21st August 2026
