Development Plus

Our Development Plus programme is designed to provide writers and producers with a range of practical and sophisticated development tools which they can apply to their feature film ideas, helping them develop industry ready screenplays. The course includes an overview of drama theory and analysis of the key elements required to make a successful screenplay.

Development Plus is a five-day course aimed at Northwest-based writers with little or no experience in feature film writing. We also run a more advanced programme over three days, aimed at experienced feature film screenwriters who are keen to refresh their development skills. Writers are asked to submit a 10-page sample of their writing with their CV and application. Twelve writers are selected for each course.
