She Writes: A Training Programme for Emerging Women Screenwriters – BEV – apply by 29th January 2010
She Writes is a new training programme for women screenwriters co-presented by Birds Eye View and The Script Factory, and supported by Skillset. It has been designed to address the remarkable statistic that only 12% of British films are written by women.
The programme, catering for eight emerging women writers, will take place over a year, during which time participants working on a feature screenplay will enjoy a residential retreat, attend specialist workshops, meet with mentors, gain a better understanding of the industry, have exclusive access to the Birds Eye View Film Festival, and workshop their projects with actors.
Call For Applicants
She Writes is now looking for eight women writers who must have at least one writing credit, in either short film, TV, radio or theatre, or at least one feature script either optioned or funded, but not yet produced. The selected writers will:
* meet for three distinct training workshops during 2010 covering Story Development, the Wider Industry, and have the chance to workshop their ideas with Actors
* have the opportunity to participate in a public/industry performed reading of their work
* be networked with highest level film industry producers and commissioners
* enjoy masterclasses and Q&As with leading UK and international talent
* see their own profiles raised through a focussed industry PR campaign
