Introduction
This one-year course is aimed at developing screenwriting skills in the context of a filmmaking community where writing is an everyday practice and a collaborative process involving actors, directors, musicians, editors, and producers.
At LFS we explore the boundaries between writing and directing and stimulate debate through classes in film history, cross-cultural approaches to dramaturgy and script readings with professional actors. Regular screenings of classic and contemporary films in our own film theatre and visits by contemporary filmmakers complement the core practical work of developing a feature screenplay.
The MA Screenwriting programme provides a year of critical and creative development, a network of future contacts and space where a writer can define their interests and particular talent. The course focuses on short, feature and series writing.
The school runs annual graduate surveys; the survey for 2015 stated 100% of MAS grads “would recommend the course to someone else“.
