Riverscribes: The Secrets Of Screenwriting

After a sell-out previous course, Henry Fitzherbert is back with a new series of screenwriting workshops, designed to help you develop your own projects - from initial idea through to first draft.

It’s Henry’s firm belief that anyone, armed with the right tools, can write a screenplay and this course will cover all the essentials of the craft, from character creation to theme, structure and dialogue.

Come with your own idea for a short film, feature or TV project, or just come to be inspired with a group of fellow creatives.

Don’t just dream. Do it!

Dive In members will enjoy free tickets to Riverscribes courses, but availability is limited to 20% of the course capacity. Click here to find out if you are eligible for our free Dive In Membership here.
