London Screenwriters' Festival 10

The London Screenwriters’ Festival is an annual three day conference for screenwriters. In 2020, the LSF will be held at Regent's University London, in Regent's Park, from the17th - 19th April. Directions to the venue HERE. For the three days, over 1,000 screenwriters, filmmakers, producers, practitioners, actors and executives congregate to share ideas, build powerful relationships, hear pitches and get a creative shot in the arm. Most delegates report massive breakthroughs in their understanding of the business and craft, as well as huge acceleration toward their career goals. However, perhaps the most vital part of the festival is the inspiration and sense of belonging you will experience when you attend. Year on year, delegates report that the community at the festival is one of the main reasons they return. The Main Events During the three days of the festival there are around 130 structured seminars, classes and workshops. There are five separate strands so that at any one moment, you can choose from up to five different sessions. You can see the schedule for this year, here (the schedule for 2020 will start to populate in the months before the festival). You can see an evolving list of the 2020 sessions, here. You do not need to book a place for any of these sessions, they are all on a first come, first seated basis. Occasionally, some sessions are so popular, seating will run out. We will try and give you advance warning about these sessions so you can get there early if you want to attend. Between sessions there are half hour breaks, with a ninety minute break for lunch. Onsite, there is breakfast, lunch and dinner available, plus drinks, tea and barista coffee. The breaks are a great opportunity to network with delegates and speakers. In the evenings (Friday and Saturday of the festival) we host networking drinks which most delegates and many speakers attend. It’s a chance to unwind, consolidate old friendships and create new relationships. Additionally, on the Thursday night before the official opening of the festival, there is a networking party where you can pick up your pass early. Over half the delegates usually attend this Thursday event. On the Saturday night of the festival we host The British Screenwriters’ Awards. As a festival pass holder you are invited to attend the awards on the Saturday night of the festival (seating limited to 450). The Speakers Every year we have around 150  industry professionals who come and speak. In the past we have played host the worlds biggest screenwriters, producers, agents and directors. These industry experts have included… Christopher McQuarrie (Writer – Usual Suspects, Valkyrie, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation) Julian Fellowes (Writer - Downton Abbey, Gosford Park) Lynne Ramsay (Writer & Director - Ratcatcher, You Were Never Really Here) Timothy Harris (Writer - Trading Places, Twins, Kindergarten Cop) Ed Neumeier (Writer - Robocop, Starship Troopers) Jeb Stuart (Writer - Die Hard, The Fugitive) Christopher Vogler (Script Consultant & Hero's Journey Guru) Stephen Frears (Director & Writer –The Grifters, The Queen, High Fidelity, Philomena) Jim Uhls (Writer – Fight Club, The Destroyer, Jumper) Steven Moffat (Screenwriter, Producer, Showrunner) Mark Gatiss (Screenwriter, Actor) Paul Abbott (Screenwriter, Producer) Peter Iliff (Director & Writer – Point Break, Patriot Games, Varsity Blues) Nick Hornby (Writer – About a Boy, Brooklyn, An Education, Fever Pitch, High Fidelity) Charles Dance (Actor – Game of Thrones, The Imitation Game, Gosford Park) Julian Fellowes (Writer – Downton Abbey, The Young Victoria, Gosford Park) Carl Gottlieb (Writer – Jaws) Nicole Perlman (Writer – Guardians of the Galaxy) Duncan Heath (Agent) Joel Schumacher (Director & Writer – The Lost Boys, The Client, Falling Down) Ted Tally (Writer – Silence Of The Lambs, Red Dragon, The Juror) Lynda La Plante (Writer – Prime Suspect, Above Suspicion) Phil Redmond (Creator of Brookside, Grange Hill and Hollyoaks) William Nicholson (Writer – Gladiator, Les Miserables, Shadowlands) Charlie Brooker (Writer – Black Mirror, A Touch Of Cloth) Joe Eszterhas (Writer – Basic Instinct, Jagged Edge) Mike Leigh (Director & Writer – Secrets & Lies, Naked, Life Is Sweet) David Hare (Writer – The Reader, The Hours) Dan Mazer (Writer – Borat, Ali G) Lisa Albert (Writer & Producer – Mad Men) Olivia Williams  (Actor – The Sixth Sense, An Education) Over 1000 industry professionals have now presented at the LSF including execs and producers from the broadcasters, Hollywood studios, UK productions (large and small and everything in between). Alongside the industry professionals, world class screenwriting tutors and practioners from the UK and Hollywood also attend, providing what are often the most widely attended sessions of the festival. They have included… Pilar Alessandra (Pitching expert) Scott Myers (Screenwriter & Educator) Linda Aronson (non linear expert) Julie Gray (Story expert) Christopher Vogler (Heros Journey expert) Linda Pogieter (Negotiation expert) Luke Ryan (Producing expert and active producer) Kate Leys (Script expert and also active script editor) Additional Events During the festival there are also separate events that are included as part of your ticket. You must apply for each of these events ahead of the festival and the process for appliaction differs slightly for each. The British Screenwriters’ Awards Join us in celebrating great screenwriting at the Great British Screenwriters’ Awards at the festival. It’s about time someone put the originators and architects of great storytelling front and centre. The Great British PitchFest! Most popular of these additional initiatives is the Great British Pitchfest where you get the chance to pitch your projects to execs, producers, agents and filmmakers. Each delegate gets ONE ninety minute slot for the Pitchfest and the booking system goes live a week before the festival. These slots go fast so make sure you are available to book yours (we will email you about this closer to the time). During your ninety minute slot you can pitch as many execs as you can get to – there is a queuing system and the most popular execs will have the longest queues. Thinking strategically could get you up to eight pitches with little or no waiting in line, or as few as three if you are late, don’t plan and make poor choices. Success in the pitching will be entirely up to your preparedness, and of course a killer idea. The Hollywood Pitchfest is a whole new evolution. We arrange video conferencing meetings with execs in Hollywood and you get to pitch online at the festival. It’s a whole new world and whole new game. It’s the same deal as the Great British Pitchfest and slots last 90 minutes. You cannot pitch at both the British and Hollyood Pitchfests, you need to choose one. You can read more about the PitchFest, here. The Advanced Mentoring Script Labs The objective of the Labs is to assist writers who have a fully developed screenplay in a specific genre, to move their work to the next level. There are six three hour Labs at the festival, covering a variety of disciplines and topics. Within each Lab there is space for up to six writers. Each year the labs are different. Past Labs have included ‘Writing For Disney with Finding Nemo writer Dave Reynolds, Writing The Hollywood Thriller with Basic Instinct writer Joe Eszterhas and Writing For Channel Four with former Channel Four Commissioner Gub Neal. Submissions open in July 2018 and we encourage the writers and expert leading each Lab, to connect and begin work before and after the festival. More here. The Actors Table Read The actors table read is an opportunity for you to get your screenplay worked on by professional actors and a director. This has proven to be our most successful initiative to date with 99.8% positive feedback from the 200 people involved last year.  Previous Actors Table Read delegates have been fortunate enough to have their scripts workshopped and directed by the likes of Hollywood heavy hitters Joel Schumacher (The Lost Boys, Falling Down) and Peter Iliff (Point Break, Patriot Games). In 2020 we aim to have 144 slots available. If you submit a script to the process and you are selected, you will attend a one hour session where you, the director and the actors will work on one sequence (between 3 and five pages) of your script.More here, including a short behind the scenes video. You can see the actors and directors who will work on your scripts, here. Script Chat After each session, speakers are invited to meet delegates in round table sessions that we call ‘Script Chats’. These informal and intimate chats can often run for an hour or more. It’s our way of giving direct access to specific experts so that if you want to, you can take the conversation to the next level. We have found that even the biggest names are happy to spend time coaching and sharing in Script Chats. More here. The Script Surgery Submit a two page outline and the first ten pages of your script and we will offer expert feedback in a fifty minute one on one session. We also operate a drop in desk over the three days of the festival. So if you want to just rock up with your script, get some feedback or ask for career advice, head over to the Script Surgery and book yourself a slot in one of the drop in sessions. More here. You can read up about the team of script doctors, here. The Legal Clinic Do you have legal issues you need a lawyer to help you with? All delegates at the festival have the option to apply for the legal clinic that is run by Blue Pencil Media. You can ask any question you like and their legal team will do their best to answer your concerns.  More here. Meet The Experts Get a full half hour with seasoned film producers, distributors and executives. Have your project grilled by a team of heavyweights. Meet The Experts is not for the feint hearted and you can be certain of a very tough conversation. Think Dragons Den but for writers concepts and projects.  More here. The Elevator Pitch Feel the fear and do it anyway! The idea is simple… the elevator doors open, you step inside, only to find yourself alone with a top executive… You have 90 seconds to get them to accept your business card! The elevator pitch will take place several times throughout the festival and always during breaks so you never need to miss a session. No booking needed, it’s first come first served.  More here. Script To Screen LIVE Read the script, watch the film or TV show, then meet the writers, filmmakers, producers at the festival. This is a rare opportunity to get access to the script that was taken to set, then follow it through the journey of production, examining changes which can be discussed during the session at the festival. In the past we have run ones we ran with Jeb Stuart and 'Die Hard', Jim Uhls and 'Fight Club', Peter Iliff and 'Point Break', Joe Eazterhas and ‘Basic Instinct’, Ted Tally and ‘Silence Of The Lambs’, Dave Reynolds and ‘Finding Nemo’ and Carl Gottlieb with ‘Jaws’. Additional Workshops During the festival and within the main sessions there will be many ‘interactive’ workshops too, where you may be invited to submit a script for editing, or to read a script in preparation for a special ‘script to screen’ session, such as the one with Joe Eszterhas and 'Basic Instinct' that we ran in 2013 or 'Silence Of The Lambs' with Ted Tally in 2015. Festival Week In the three days running up to the festival (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) we run a series of one day masterclasses. We have designed these to be as useful as possible for delegates, especially those traveling from great distances. They are competitively priced at £48.50 per day (for LSF delegates). By far the most popular is Pitching Thursday with Pilar Alessandra as it sets you up for the pitch of your life in the Great British PitchFest. You can get more information on Festival Week, here. The Writers Room The Writers’ Room is a long established Hollywood convention that is utilized in the creation of both TV Drama and Comedy TV series, and now even feature films.  The Writers Room at the London Screenwriters Festival is a brand new initiative for this year. We will fling successful applicants right in at the Screenwriting deep-end by recreating a Writers’ Room experience which will culminate in (we are hoping and actively working on) real world pitches to top Producers and Showrunners during a live session at the festival. The LSF Writers Rooms (we expect to run three or four with six writers in each) will give successful applicants a look behind this slightly mysterious curtain and give them a real life experience of collaborative creative writing under pressure and at it’s best; all under the guidance and leadership of some of the best professional Showrunners working in the UK today.   Don't take out word for it... Here's What Our Speakers and Execs say LSF has done a wonderful at job fostering a tight-knit global community of screenwriters. Truly a memorable and worthwhile experience.Nicole Perlman, 'Guardians of the Galaxy' A phenomenal blast… an unpretentious all-for-one and one-for-all camaraderie where a stimulating exchange of ideas is organic.
