‘A good kick in the conventions…!’ Pete Dodd, Director

This weekend we ran the 2 day 21st Century Screenwriter Masterclass with Linda Aronson. Nearly 200 screenwriters and filmmakers crammed into Tuke Hall at Regents College to listen in awe at an extraordinarily detailed seminar on contemporary screenwriting. The delegates said it best…

‘What worked 50 years ago will not necessarily work today. Look at how Music has changed. Is Little Brown Jug anything like Poker Face? I think not. Culture, society and people move on’ Gail Hackston

This comment goes to the very heart of the workshop. Linda tackled head on the notion that the traditional three act structure with a single protagonist does not suit all films. Indeed, more and more film scripts, and especially television scripts, are drifting further from this classical model.

If you missed the workshop, we do have 11 copies of her book left, which in many ways, is the workshop written down. Linda was good enough to sign these copies, so grab one now – they are £20 plus £5 shipping – use button below.
