Scriptwriting and development

 

Equinoxe 

 

This scriptwriter development programme is based on the premise that European films deserve a stronger place in the national and international market.

 

The Equinoxe workshops are based on an exchange of ideas between selected screenwriters and film professionals. The screenplays selected for workshops are feature length, fully drafted scripts with either the promise or potential of being produced.

EURODOC

 

EURODOC was designed to provide European documentary producers with a specific training structure. Producing quality creative documentaries requires increasingly more funding which is proving difficult to find at national levels whatever the size of the country. Their objectives are to improve the trans-national circulation of documentary films, increase the quality of the development of documentary projects, and to strengthen the international development of small to medium companies within the documentary sector

Rocliffe

 

Created in 2000 as a platform for new writing and a networking event. The formula is simple yet original - 5-8 minutes of four different scripts, rehearsed for 30-40 minutes with a director, the writer, and actors who are cast on the night. No one sees all the scripts in advance. The scene is then performed to an audience of actors, writers, directors and producers, who then give the writer feedback on his or her work. After each scene the cast become the audience and another scene is performed. Takes place monthly in London.

Writers Copyright Association (WCA-UK)

 

The WCA-UK is a dedicated organisation which helps writers to establish the date of creation of their literary work and, as such, to enforce and protect their copyright. They have also built a resource base for writers, where generic short-form contracts can be downloaded.


The WCA-UK was been created because of the high demand in the UK for a script registration service. The organisation has been set up by writers for writers, with a dedicated legal team consulting on our behalf.

 

Copyright protect your work. It's proof you wrote it, and wrote it first.
