Screenwriters…. On screenwriting
Tue, 7 Sep 2010
We’re delighted to be joining our colleagues at BAFTA and the BFI as Media Partner for a brilliant new series that starts this week. Profiling the art of screenwriting through a fantastic selection of live events, the Screenwriters’ Lectures series pulls together some of the starriest screenwriters working today, including Simon Slumdog Beaufoy, Sir David The Hours Hare and Aline Brosh McKenna, responsible for The Devil Wears Prada. It goes significantly beyond simple ‘career chat’, by offering unique presentations, lectures and interviews from the best in the business. Recognising this as the perfect place to get inspired about your own work, we’re excited to have been able to invite a selection of our Members as well as our She Writes participants to be our guests at each event, and we're delighted that BAFTA and the BFI have set aside a strictly limited number of tickets to the first three lectures on a 2-for-1 basis for you.
