Write Moves

Write Moves is Lighthouse's training programme aimed at experienced writers who are new to feature screenwriting. We have now selected the writers for the current course but plan to run another in 2006-07.

Details of the selected writers will be available here soon.

Supported by Skillset's Film Skills Fund, Write Moves is providing eight writers with intensive support through writing and re-writing their first feature screenplays.

The selected writers attend five three-day residential workshops in Brighton over a twelve month period. Through a combination of taught seminars, film industry master classes, mentor advice, one-to-one development support and detailed feedback sessions from highly experienced script consultants, Claire Moorsom and Emmanuel Oberg, participants are developing their original outline ideas through to third draft screenplays.

Writers who have attended our project development screenwriting courses before have said:

"I learned to deepen each scene through specific character behaviour, and to create emotional maps for each character to ensure their consistency throughout the script" Kit Hui

"The course has exceeded my expectations. The level and quality of professional advice was very high" Trevor de Silva

"I've learnt how to get the bigger picture working first - to find out what the script is about as early as possible" Matthew Thompson

Write Moves is funded by:
Skillset Film Skills Fund, Lighthouse, Hilton Metropole Brighton and the Esmee Fairburn Foundation.
