The Script Factory runs a range of training courses across the UK and abroad. We provide innovative, energetic and thorough programmes to suit writers and the people who work with writers or who generally have to make judgements on scripts and story material.
We have traditionally focussed on Film training courses but in recent years have expanded that focus to include story-based TV and Radio training courses.
We run programmes to suit various levels of experience and with varying levels of time commitment ranging from half-day taster training courses to an 18-month Diploma.
We stage our own annual programmes and often design bespoke film training courses in partnership with other regional, national and international agencies.

For the last 4 years we have been engaged by the Regional Screen Agencies, Skillset and the UK Film Council, to deliver a programme of training which ran alongside the national Digital Shorts production programme. The scheme is now under discussion (along with the rest of the UK's film funding landscape!) and we hope to see a new version of it announced in 2011 - meanwhile click here for details of last year's programme - and information about the filmmakers who took part.
It is often possible to obtain bursary support for The Script Factory film training courses from national and regional funding bodies - click here to read about applying for bursaries.
