The primary reason great ideas (and even developed scripts) written for longform television fail at the final hurdle is poor structuring.
John Yorke should know. He wrote one of the greatest books on story structure ever written – ‘Into The Woods’ – and as the Golden Globe-winning, former head of Ch4 Drama, BBC Drama, Company Pictures, Eastenders showrunner… his resume clearly speaks for itself.
Join him for this two-day longform structure masterclass and get access to all seminars for six months.
The London Screenwriters' Festival is proud to hold this event in conjunction with our friends at John Yorke Story.
When: Dates March 27th and 28th 2021

Part lecture, part practical workshop, this two-day immersive weekend will elevate your career and
project through deep industry insight.
It will offer hyper focused structuring for your narrative, and you will revisit character, theme and genre for your stories, as well as explore industry production formats – who offers the best home for your project and why?
Expect to learn new pitching skills too, as getting the industry to lean forward and pay attention to your project is the first half of the challenge.
