An exciting lab for scriptwriters, delivered by writer/producer Angeli Macfarlane!

The Script Sessions offers writers, directors and other creatives the opportunity to dive more deeply into feature film script writing techniques. This year’s focus will be on the relationship between ideas, world building and placing your characters in the right structure to tell your story. Everyone will emerge from the three days with a stronger sense of how to interrogate your own objectives and then, how to execute them.

We’re excited to announce that writer and director Harry Lighton will also be joining us as a guest speaker on his BIFA-winning and BAFTA-nominated debut feature, Pillion. Harry’s feature took the film world by storm, captivating audiences with its unconventional love story. It premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival 2025, where it won the section’s Best Screenplay Prize, continuing to gain acclaim on the festival and awards circuit.

If you plan to apply for the Production Finance Market in the coming weeks, this Lab could be valuable in helping you with the progress of your script.

Past participants of Angeli's previous labs have said;

"Love, love, loved it! Angeli is a wonderful presenter. I left with clarity about my current projects and a newfound enthusiasm for those to come - the sky's the limit"

"I was in need of clarity and a step-by-step approach to the overwhelming nature of developing a feature film, and this Lab came at the perfect time. I really appreciate the directness and boundless clarity on many aspects that were truly overwhelming before joining that call"

"Angeli Macfarlane's approach to writers and scripts is unlike any of the others I have been taught by (...) and hers, to me, is by far and away the best."

Taking place on 26-28 May 2026, 1pm-3pm each day, online on Zoom.
