"This is an excellent course that celebrates difference and myth busts taboos of the industry. If the industry operated the way this course does, TV and film would become more enriched and diverse."
-Former Student
 
  • How do under-represented writers navigate an industry not yet ready for them? 
  • How do you use existing expectations and dogmas to your advantage? 
  • What does a hero's journey look like when they have an under-represented voice?

Writers from under-represented backgrounds need practical advice on how to navigate pitfalls and bend the rules and expectations of TV and film to their benefit. Most of all, they need an opportunity to explore their ideas among like-minded peers who can help support and nurture them.

This course runs on Wednesday evenings, after working hours (18:15-20:45), for 8 weeks - giving you greater flexibility to hit homework deadlines.  

Under-representation and under-represented groups in the UK relate to the protected characteristics as defined in the UK Equality Act 2010. Additional areas include regional participation, socioeconomic background, and caring responsibilities. This is not an exhaustive list.
