Share the Knowledge is proud to announce our new course, SCRIPT EDITING FOR PRODUCERS.

Script Editing for Producers is a multi-day workshop that equips film producers with the essential skills to develop original and authentic screen stories. In this workshop, you will learn how to strengthen your script development skillset, how to choose screenplays and articulate their vision, explore the development process with creatives, and how to provide feedback that will advance the project.

The course will be led by the acclaimed script advisor/doctor/editor, Claire Dobbin!

Applications are open now until Friday 31 May, 5pm.

This workshop is designed to enable producers to engage deeply with screen stories using the language of script development and to recognise when a script is working, when it is not, and what to do about it. At its conclusion, producers should feel confident about how to assess the potential of a screenplay, how to discuss the screenplay with the writer, how to put together the right development strategy, how to constantly consider ways in which the writer could make stronger choices and how to assess and elevate each draft.

Understanding development and the process by which a good screenplay becomes great is an essential part of every producers’ toolkit because a producer who understands development will always be ahead of the curve.

This workshop will run as two separate modules.

The first is for experienced producers (minimum of one producer credit, either feature film or TV series) looking for a refresher course or upskilling or just the opportunity to talk about how screenplays work how producers manage script development. Course runs Friday 21 June – Monday 24 June. Apply here.

The second is for emerging producers (no prior credits required) who are keen to further their script analysis and script development skills. Course runs Tuesday 25 June – Thursday 27 June. Apply here.
