Led by Glasgow-based arts and media charity The Portal Arts, the First Draft programme supports new feature film scripts through development, from early outline to polished first draft. The filmmaking teams will receive close editorial support throughout this process from a highly experienced Development Executive, Lizzie Gray and the Screen Scotland team.
First Draft offers screenwriters a valuable opportunity to undertake a development process with the aim of creating a robust treatment, working towards delivering a polished first draft feature-length screenplay. Screenwriters will benefit from:
- One-to-one mentorship with a Development Executive
- Script workshops to refine story, character, and structure
- Masterclasses with industry professionals
Applications are open with a deadline of 14 September.
