Your voice. Your story. Your screenplay.
ABOUT THIS PATHWAY
Every memorable film begins with a story worth telling.
This pathway explores AI as a creative partner in developing an idea, building characters, writing a screenplay and presenting the project to others. The emphasis is on strengthening your judgement and voice, not handing them over to a tool. Draw on the experiences, languages and perspectives that shape you, and learn to turn them into a structured screen story with emotional depth and a compelling pitch.
Who it is for:
Aspiring and practising screenwriters, playwrights, filmmakers and storytellers developing work for film, television or digital formats.
