The Script Reading Course was very useful and worth the money. Even though it was a very intense day full of information, it was a good chance of collecting some material for future references as well as a great opportunity to meet other people. And since the group was so small with only six participants, we were all able to participate and interact with each other. It clearly was a satisfying experience.

Fantastic day, full of relevant information and introduction to the Script Reading role. There is a lot of material covered and lots of information to take home to review. Would recommend to anyone interested in getting into script reading.

I found it very intense but helpful in thinking about script reading analytically. There was a lot of good information on books to read and a great list about companies to contacts, which is invaluable. There was also some very insightful information about different genres and how to approach story structures. Although I'm still daunted by the prospect of how to analyse scripts well, I think this course broke down the basics and is a sturdy stepping stone. Also a great place to meet likeminded readers/writers. A great start. I would highly recommend it.

As a Production Assistant currently working in TV, but hoping to transition into Script Development, I found this course both relevant and insightful. The course was well structured and delivered in an informal and friendly atmosphere, making the seemingly intense day manageable. The small class size gave an intimate learning environment, which allowed for safe space to openly discuss ideas, and opinions on the course materials we reviewed. I feel the information and understanding I’ve gained is absolutely invaluable. Not only am I now looking at screen plays and my own work with fresh eyes, I’ve come away with an up to date list of contacts to gain actual work in the industry, and a few contacts from my fellow course members.

A very informative course that provided a thorough introduction to script reading. The course is well structured and presented, spending the right amount of time on each section. Not only did I gain an understanding of script reading, but the course also encouraged me to think about script writing in a different manner. The small class size created a more relaxed atmosphere that encouraged participation and discussion. The course notes complement the presentation but also go into some more detail than the one day course can allow. The post-course assignment offered a satisfying challenge to use what I had learnt on the course and to try and improve my skills. The course didn't shy away from the realities of the competitive industry, but it has provided an excellent starting point from which I hope to establish myself as a script reader.

Good stuff! Intense but also very informative and helpful; you really do hear everything you need to know, and this is coming from a complete amateur to the world of film industry. Would maybe have liked to discuss a little more the script we were assigned to read and also hear the tutor's personal opinion of it, but otherwise - great!

Excellent course. Ample supply of high-quality course materials provided. Wide range of topics discussed, from analytical aspects of reading screenplays, to commercial issues in film production, to personal career management. Tutor had a good balance of taking charge and allowing contributions. Would definitely recommend for those with a serious interest in the screenwriting.

I'm an aspiring screenwriter, but I took this course because I'm also very interested in working in the development side of film and TV. I wanted to learn more about how script reading works and how I could find paid jobs in that area, and on that front the course was fantastic. We were given step-by-step guides on who to approach and how to approach them and I now feel a lot more confident about pursuing this line of work. An added benefit was the thorough insight into how development execs analyse scripts on a commercial and technical level, something that was very useful to me as a screenwriter. It's also worth mentioning that it was the first time our tutor had taught this course, but we would have never known if he hadn't told us. The day was engaging and interesting throughout. If you want to be a script reader, you need to take this course.
