10. FILMMAKING SEMINAR
Guest TV / Feature Writer
For the Television guest speaker we are currently seeking an established writer such as
Deborah J Fisher (Twisted, Law & Order: LA, The Forgotten, Criminal Minds and CBS/Sony
Pictures Entertainment/Gran Via Productions)
Screenwriters are responsible for researching the story, developing the narrative, writing
the screenplay, and delivering it, in the required format, to development executives.
Screenwriters therefore have great influence over the creative direction and emotional
impact of the screenplay and, arguably, of the finished film. They either pitch original
ideas to producers in the hope that they will be optioned or sold, or screenwriters are
commissioned by a producer to create a screenplay from a concept, true story, existing
screen work or literary work, such as a novel, poem, play, comic book or short story.
