Our story started at the University of Oxford, where we run a screenwriting course for aspiring writers. The course became so oversubscribed that we began to meet – like all true Oxford writers – in the pub. Post pandemic, we moved to Zoom. Now we help writers across the world to connect, get inspiration, and work through a draft with professional input at every step.
Why?
We challenge formulaic entertainment by making screenwriting more accessible for a wider range of voices creating a broader range of film/TV stories.
How?
Bring emerging writers together in online table reads and questioning yet nurturing discussions.
What?
Participants articulate their voice, experience a performance of their story, get feedback from multiple perspectives incl. BAFTA nominated producer
The Online Screenwriting Academy actively supports this diversity as the numbers show
