Join internationally recognised filmmaker and storyteller Pete Short for an interactive creative writing workshop. His work has been selected for the Venice, Tribeca and Toronto Film Festivals, and he has collaborated with New York Times best-selling authors, West End directors and award-winning storytellers across film, theatre and literature.
In this dynamic two-hour session, you’ll learn how to lay a powerful foundation for your own stories. Working with Neptune, a cutting-edge storytelling platform, you’ll explore how to:
Create memorable characters by defining their values, traits and flaws.
Establish the rules and laws of your story world.
Design tension and conflict that drive compelling narratives.
Shape a clean resolution and a coherent arc that resonates.
The workshop blends guided demonstration, individual writing time and small-group collaboration - so you’ll not only develop your own ideas but also gain inspiration and feedback from fellow writers. Whether you’re working on a screenplay, a novel or a new concept, you’ll leave with sharper tools, fresh insights and a clearer path forward.
What to bring: A laptop and your imagination.
Free but requires a ticket and confirmation 24 hours before the workshop.
