Stuff of Interest #2: Script Calls

Many thanks to Lianne, Anya, Eat My Shorts and Billy The Kidney for asking if I’m okay this week since I haven’t posted since Monday… I can assure Billy in particular that I haven’t “dropped off the edge of the known universe” or been eaten by my cats: I’ve just been really busy with work.

The Long Distance Screenwriter, Part Two

As promised, part two of my notes. Hey boy, hey girl, Superstar DJ… Here we go! Skillset. Adrian recommended in the first instance that all writers familiarise themselves with the work and opportunities available through Skillset. Knowing what one can get funding for and how helps writers make decisions and book training, courses etc that *could* make all the difference to their career. However, it’s surprising how few writers know exactly how Skillset works or what they fund. So go check it out! Film Festivals.
