SCRUM offers tiered pricing for our workshops - please read the pricing information below to choose the right tier for you. 

After the workshop with Philp Shelley we invite you to join us for Snacks ‘n’ Chats! We're holding tea for all workshop attendees from 1-2pm - a chance to get to know your fellow creatives, skill swap and, most importantly, eat biscuits.

 

PHILIP SHELLEY ON SCREENWRITING: THE CRAFT AND THE CAREER.

Join Philip Shelley for a workshop on screenwriting, based on interactive, creative exercises taken from his book, SCREENWRITING THE CRAFT AND THE CAREER.

 

Philip will lead you in exercises to help you:

  • Generate and create inspiring and compelling story ideas
  • Create distinctive and engaging characters
  • Create story through characters

Philip will also guide you in the fundamental principles of effective screenwriting for film and TV.

Copies of Philip’s book will be available to buy after the workshop and you can also purchase a copy online here: https://www.nickhernbooks.co.uk/screenwriting

 

WHICH TICKET TIER SHOULD I CHOOSE?

Offering affordable training is at the heart of SCRUM’s charitable objectives, which is why we have different ticket price tiers. We encourage you to pay what you can based on the below descriptors:

£12 - Subsidised ticket price - You have limited expendable income** and need to opt for the lowest cost option. If this cost is still a barrier, please contact SCRUM on [javascript protected email address]

£15 - Subsidised ticket price - You have some expendable income and can meet basic needs, even if there may be occasional financial stress

£20 - Full ticket price - You have a comfortable amount of expendable income, do not face financial barriers and are able to cover the full cost of the event ticket. 

*BASIC NEEDS include food, housing, clothing and transportation.

**EXPENDABLE INCOME might mean you are able to buy coffee or tea at a shop, go to the cinema or a concert, buy new clothes, books and similar items each month, etc.
