Effective Script Reading

There's a new script reading course on the scene, run by the very brilliant Evan Leighton-Davis. Not only was he script editor on Origin (m'short film), he's one of the leading script consultants working in the UK today, moving and shaking with the best of them (BBC Films, Ealing Studios, Working Title, Pathe, Warner Brothers etc etc).

Evan's rounding up all his expertise and industry savvy into the course, so it's ideal for folks who want to sharpen their development instincts and/or for those who want to know how to find those much sought after reading gigs. The fee is £150, which includes detailed course notes, a contacts overview of the UK industry, and refreshments. Places are strictly limited so please book early to avoid disappointment (although more courses are planned right through to May). It's cheaper than Script Factory and will take place in London in the New Year, more details below.
