This event will take place over Zoom from 1:30pm - 3pm (BST) on 16nd June 2024.

Diving into script reading and reporting marks an essential entry point into the film industry in the UK.

In this pivotal role, readers wield significant influence over the fate of scripts, determining their acceptance or rejection by production companies. Understanding this role and mastering this craft opens doors to fruitful collaborations with producers and executives, paving the way for potential opportunities in development roles.

This workshop is aimed at creatives interested in learning more about the Development stage of a project, aspiring script readers and Screenwriters looking for insider knowledge.
