Screenwriters @ Film Oxford

Screenwriters @ Film Oxford – online

New members welcome

Introduction

Film Oxford has a self-directed Screenwriting Group where members meet weekly – on Monday evenings – to critique each other’s outlines, treatments and scripts.

Perhaps you’re trying to write regularly or get a script finished. A group of fellow writers is a useful resource: somewhere to get feedback and comments, a place to try out ideas, a source of support and encouragement.

Activities

Typically, the group will read through a section from a work-in-progress, which is then critiqued. The review process is good-natured and supportive, and the outcome really is a better script.

Eligibility

The group is intended for writers who are familiar with the basics. It helps if you’re self-confident and tolerant of critiquing. If you’re a complete beginner you need to sign up to some introductory courses before joining a group like this.

Experience

It may be that – though not formally trained in screenwriting – you have a good working knowledge of scripts. Maybe you’ve been involved in the theatre, or in acting, or you’ve worked on documentaries. These experiences may make you a suitable candidate to join our group.

Courses

If you’re not yet trained in screenwriting, you may want to consider these options:

Film Oxford has two courses of interest to new screenwriters: Introduction to Screenwriting and New Screenwriters Workshop.

Many colleges and universities teach screenwriting, and there are numerous courses online.

Interested?

If you’re interested in joining us, please follow the link below. This will take you to a short questionnaire so we can get to know about you, and your background in writing.
