Screenwriting Workshops

In Australia, the film industry is accessible. But finding quality, produceable screenplays isn't so easy. If you want to write movies, please pursue it. Australia needs you!

Believe it or not, you can write a high-quality screenplay. All that’s required is:

  • Your creativity
  • A bit of “know-how”
  • And a genuine desire to do it

Production companies need original screenplays. Stories can come from anywhere. Everyone has an idea for a movie. But how many people will turn that idea into a viable, fully-developed screenplay? ...Surprisingly few.

Why Us?

Ours are the first and only screenwriting workshops offered in Australia from the production company's perspective.

Most screenwriting courses in Australia are offered by academics - people that have been taught how to teach. They've never actually been through the process, from start to finish. (Maybe that's why it's so difficult to find a good screenplay!)

Or they're taught by screenwriters, who know the craft, but not the producer's perspective. They can show you the writing side of it all... but that's only half the picture.

Our goals are different. We aim to develop commericially-viable feature-length screenplays, and turn them into films.

We want you to succeed! We encourage you to participate in our industry-leading workshops. To learn more, choose the workshop you're interested in:

The FASTscreenwriting Workshop™
Our flagship -- a dynamic, intenstive weekend workshop that covers everything you need to know before you write your feature screenplay.

Pro Series: Down Under™
The complete ten-module, six-month workshop run by Hollywood's best and Australia's best producer/screenwriting teachers.

We're also developing structured writers workgroups to create an ongoing forum for dedicated screenwriters.

Also in the planning stages are seminars and meetings with industry professionals.

 

 

"I think it is wonderful that you pass on such knowledge. You're enthusiastic, encouraging, and obviously love your craft. Only just hope you don't have too many courses, or there will be thousands of good screenwriters to compete with! Thank-you very much! I thought it was brilliant! I'd recommend the Workshop -- Definitely, Definitely, Definitely!"
