Film Screenwriting.The University of Salford

The course aims to develop film scripts that are innovative and creative but also commercially viable. The rationale for the course is the need to shift away from the European 'Fine Art' attitude to film storytelling and towards a more trans-atlantic approach to issues of story, creativity, genre and commercial viability. This course is, we believe, unique in its desire and ability to address issues of language (you can't break into the American film market with European language features), genre, economic viability and artistic merit within the process of film script development and film script production.
