SCRIPT READING, DEVELOPMENT AND CONSULTATION SERVICES

Introducing new services from Write Shoot Cut.

Neil, the man behind this website, is an experienced screenwriting tutor having taught over 100 students over the past two years as part of the 10 week course: Blank Page, Write A Short Film Screenplay.

Participants have this to say about the course:

“I found the screenwriting course ideal as an incentive to get writing. Neil was helpful and well informed and it was inspiring to share ideas with the other members of the class.”

“Neil’s feedback was excellent and he is full of enthusiasm. After each class I felt more confident and more willing to move forward with my ideas.”

“Neil is so encouraging. I was mortified giving my ideas but he never made you feel embarrassed, he was always encouraging and that gave me the confidence I needed.”

“It was a pleasure learning in such a stimulating environment and I am glad to have gained valuable advice and guidance.”

“A great course and great fun!”

“Amazing! Get involved, it will take all your fear away and push you to take part”.

Neil have spent the last ten years watching, curating and dissecting short films and independent feature films, latterly as part of Write Shoot Cut and as the Creative Director of the Bootleg Film Festival in Edinburgh and New York.

Neil is a Screenwriting graduate of the Screen Academy Scotland and a regular speaker at independent film events in the UK.

At Screen Education Edinburgh Neil tutors young people aged 12-25 in screenwriting, filmmaking and film literacy.

Neil has the skills and experience to support you to write the best screenplay you can.

Neil believes that the screenplay is the most important part of the filmmaking process. It is essential that you get the story right before you even think about sending it out or making it.

Neil can offer you his skills and expertise at whatever stage you are at with your screenplay.
