As a judge for FILM FREEWAY I spent the last two months grading scripts. I'll withhold the name of the exact contest to protect the innocent. Every script I read failed. They were so bad. Not just bad. They were super bad. Some of the writers were from high dollar schools too. I could go on for days...

Hi hi!
I hope you are all well. I am trying to use being 18 years, creative and 'politically-focused' to find opportunities to work on projects as scriptwriter. I know places like the BBC do things where they make a young 'activist' in the creative industries go viral, give them platform, submit them...

What Dan said. As an extra, if you're looking for a bulletin of opportunities and schemes, the Women In Film And TV newsletter (www.wftw.org.uk) has a brilliant round up of those each week.
Ditto with Dan... when I started my first screenplay and wanted to direct, my girlfriend told me to show I could tell any tale tale by translating its script to film.
Thank you Joanna Karselis Brian Shell appreciate it...

In some ways, I'm very happy that I've decided to try and learn the craft via osmosis instead of in a classroom setting. I feel so much more comfortable writing without any sense of true formatting. I...
Expand commentIn some ways, I'm very happy that I've decided to try and learn the craft via osmosis instead of in a classroom setting.
