About this event
A workshop led by queer screenwriter Matthew Jacobs Morgan (THE RIG - Amazon, UNTITLED HBO SHOW- Bad Robot/HBO, POMPEII - Try Hard Films) on how to get started as a screenwriter and the fundamentals of writing a TV script (and touching on the difference with writing for film). This is aimed at beginners, but everyone is welcome! We’ll end up the session with an informal chat with any questions.
