Rocliffe Notes

The BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Forum identifies and develops new writing talent by providing development tools and a showcase for live performance events for new writers, as well as networking opportunities for new talent to meet established industry figures. Rocliffe has an established reputation and has become a leader in development events. This is a manual for screenwriters and filmmakers in the form of notes. These provide a step-by-step, common sense guide, with suggestions on how writers and writer-directors can best present themselves to the industry. This book does not explain how to write a screenplay. Instead, it provides insider confidences, from established industry players to peers, on how to have a professional approach to writing. A revelation for all would-be screenwriters, this is a guide to living the screenwriter's life – the habits, writing atmospheres, creative processes, daily passions and preoccupations. It explores new opportunities within the digital platform as well as how to maximise networking opportunities and is an essential armament in any writer's store.
