The Script Reading Course was particularly impressive due to the small size of the group of seven candidates. This made it possible for the long day very endurable with plenty of interaction and good opportunity for 'networking'. It felt like all the necessary elements were well packaged and delivered very satisfactorily. I came away feeling more confident and possibly 'knowledgeable' at the end. I can say the Course was certainly value for money.

The Script Reading Course was an extremely informative and insightful look at both the process of script reading, and how the role fits into the industry as an important part of the development process. The day was intense but this was most definitely a positive as we were able to get as much information as possible within the day, and also as a reflection of script reading as part of the industry which is by nature, very intense. The tutor was extremely good at relaying information and encouraging us to interact so that we could fully absorb what was being taught and engage with the subject matter. I would definitely recommend to anybody wanting to get involved in script reading and development.

This script reading course was well-structured and managed to pack in a lot of useful information in to a single day. The small class size and the fact that it was only a day worked well - intense but comprehensive. What I found particularly useful was the emphasis on the importance of estimating the commercial potential of a script - we were told about what sort of projects were working particularly well in the British market, information which has made me start reading initial drafts in a new way. We were also given a realistic picture of the industry and the general level of hard work and experience required to be a successful script reader. Overall, the course exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it for someone thinking about moving into script development.

I decided to enrol to this course as I was looking for a career change. I wanted to know if script reading would be something that I would like to do. I am pretty happy to have done it. It helped me to have an insight in the industry, understand much better what the executives are looking for, thanks to the valuable information we were given. Besides, it is also very interesting to have a post – course assignment because you realise how much you had learnt. It is totally worth it if you are in your first steps of pursuing a career in script reading.

As a slightly more 'mature' head transitioning from assistant directing / directing into script development this course was great for focusing the mind on script as a product going to market rather than a production blueprint. Having studied the craft of screenplay for my own writing and having been a script reader for writers before, the course reaffirmed a lot of what I 'thought' was good practice as well as providing the necessary steering to more study and work experience in my quest for paid work in this field. The pre and post-course script reading assignments, along with the course material provided, make this a bonafide, applied learning experience, these guys are pros. RECOMMEND :)

As a recent newcomer to the script reading industry, I found this course very informative and useful. It is an intense day but made worth while by the amount of fantastic information taught in a structured and friendly manner. The course documents received on the day are very constructive, and have proved very helpful after the course too. If you are wanting to get into the script reading business, or if you are a screenwriter, I definitely recommend this course as it gives a very clear view of what executives are looking for.

As a screenwriter looking to work in development, I found this course incredibly useful and informative, learning not only how to professionally analyse other peoples' scripts, but also how to analyse and develop my own work. The class size was small and intimate, allowing for lots of contribution and discussion. The materials we were given were very beneficial and came in handy when writing my own script report for the assignment. Having done some script reading previously, I can instantly see the improvement in my reports after doing this course. One thing I would add is that the Contact Sheet could perhaps be updated as it was pointed out that some of the companies have since closed or changed their name.

The Script Reading Course was worth the time and money spent. It was good to come into contact with a professional who knows the market place and knows what is required. The information provided before during and after the course was of a high standard and will no doubt be of use to me in the future. The best thing about the course in my opinion was the post course assignment. Being able to 'sit in the seat' of a reader and write a coverage report provided great insight and will be extremely beneficial as I pursue my career as a writer.
