MA Screenwriting
The NFTS MA Screenwriting course prepares writers for work in film and television. Taught by working writers, producers and commissioners, the course addresses the main aspects of the profession of writing.
Graduating screenwriters will have had the opportunity to complete a range of work for their portfolio, demonstrating their talent and unique voice. Introductions are made to literary agents, broadcasters and film and television production companies.
Unlike a Screenwriting MA based in an academic institution, this course is set in a working film and television studio. It covers all aspects of screenwriting, from the development of ideas through to production and post production.
Screenwriting students have their writing work-shopped by professional directors and actors. Working with student producers and directors, they have the chance to see their writing tested in production. The NFTS programme also includes masterclasses from eminent practitioners in all fields and regular previews of current film releases.
Screenwriting graduates have access to feature and TV project development opportunities, set up by the School in partnership with film companies and broadcasters such as BBC Films, Vertigo Films, and NBC TV via Carnival Films.
