Come along for a taster of the 2025 SCWC Screenwriting Program.

The Screenwriting Group focuses on the craft of screenwriting for drama. As in 2024, industry veteran Graham Thorburn is looking to form a small group of mutually supportive writers with some experience in writing (though not necessarily either fiction or screenplays) interested in writing a first draft of their own feature length screenplay over the course of 2025. Although Graham’s process has strong theoretical underpinnings, it is at heart an intensely practical step-by-step process. At the beginning of the year the group will explore the elements that underpin a character-driven screenplay, and then each participant will be encouraged to develop their own script, and to share their developing script and their journey with the group.

Workshops will be held fortnightly on Thursday nights from 6:30pm at Coledale, starting in February 2025 and will run until December with roughly 18 meetings.

Places in the program are in high demand and are available by application to SCWC members only. This program has an annual fee of $150 which supports Film Club screenings.
