London Film School, offer full-time MA Degree courses in both Film Making and Screewriting.

Following on from the 3-day Mackendrick on Film-Making course, this new and intensive 1-day script surgery will use Mackendrick’s ideas on dramatic construction and film grammar to analyse participants’ own work. If you have a draft version of a script, or a rough cut of a film, bring it along and as a group we’ll address any specific issues and problems you might have.

This is an excellent opportunity to see Mackendrick's ideas in action. There wasn't a problem with a student script or film that he hadn't encountered a thousand times before. His Slogans for the Screenwriter's Wall speak to his understanding of the issues that writers and filmmakers are confronted with at every stage of their work.

For the past year Paul has been offering Mackendrick surgery sessions to small groups of filmmakers in New York, with a great deal of success.

A maximum of 8-10 places are available, and priority will be given to those who have already attended the Mackendrick course (including those who sign up for the forthcoming April course). A waiting list will be operation for everyone else. Please email us to be added.

For those attending, scripts should be kept to a maximum of 10 pages (PDF preferred), and films to 10 minutes (DVD or Quicktime preferred).
