Screenwriters' Festival News



The main event of the Screenwriters' Festival may be over for another year but the board of directors and advisory team are already hard at work planning next year's programme. They're looking at exciting ways to offer delegates more learning and networking opportunities and even better value. As with this year, TwelvePoint.com is hoping to take an active role.

If you work with an organisation that might be interested in the benefits of being involved with the Festival, whether through sponsorship or some other means, please email Julian@Blakefriedmann.co.uk in the first instance.

To delegates who attended this year's Festival, thank you all for your constructive (and incredibly positive) feedback. If you have any comments and suggestions on how to improve future events, please send them to Julian@blakefriedmann.co.uk, marking your email 'SWF feedback'. We'll make sure they're forwarded to David Pearson, the Festival Director. Or just post to the SWF Forum pages on TwelvePoint.
