About the Summer Sessions
We are excited to announce the return of our popular Access NFTS Summer Sessions for 2026!
These FREE hands on sessions are open to young people aged 11–16 and will run throughout August at our Beaconsfield campus. Each week, participants can choose from at least four different 2 hour workshops, each exploring a unique career pathway in the Film, TV and Games industries.
Script Writers: Unleash Your Unique Voice!
Got a massive idea for a movie or TV show but worried it has "already been done before"? Here is the industry secret: every idea has been done, but it hasn't been done by you. In this workshop, you will unlock your unique creative voice, build unforgettable characters, and learn how to survive a real Hollywood writers' room.
Here is your production script:
Stage 1: The Voice Code & Character Blueprint
Crack your taste: Analyze your three favourite movies to map out your personal writing style.
The Wants vs. Needs formula: Give your main character an external mission (Want) and an internal life lesson (Need) to build a rock-solid story foundation.
Stage 2: The Obstacle Gauntlet (Collaboration Challenge!)
Pass the script: Design a character and pass them to the writer next to you
Survive the plot twists: Watch as others in the room throw bigger and crazier obstacles in your character's path.
Write the ending: Take your script back to decide if your character gets what they want, what they need, or absolute chaos!
Stage 3: The Writers' Room & Pitch Blitz
Team up: Form a mini writers' room
The random drop: Use random prompt cards to craft a high-stakes script together
Pitch the studio: Take the floor to pitch your finished story idea to the group before the final wrap.
No writing experience needed. Just bring your biggest ideas and your unique perspective.
