'Writing The Short 'will show you how short films are very different from long form screen drama. The masterclass will help you avoid the most common mistakes of newbie filmmakers, and teach you techniques to deliver a winning screenplay.

"Screenwriting is as much an art as it is a craft. My focus is on learnable techniques. I will not meddle with your art.”
