Write a script

I have written one radio play  — 1 month ago

When I did my masters degree, last year.
I got a good mark for it, but didn’t really feel it showed my potential as it was something I had to do in a short timeframe… I want to write a Short film or feature film before I die.

Do you mind me asking...

... which MA you did? I’m thinking about doing an MA in (something creative writing related) next September. I’m looking for ideas!

Thanks :-)

I did my MA in Radio,
which was very broad,

We did
Documentaries
News Room
Journalism
And Script writing.

I feel there was too much focus on news & Journalism, but I suppose that is where the jobs are, but not what I wanted to do.

Goldsmiths is a really good creative University if you want to move to London!

Cool

That sounds a very cool MA! I did an NCTJ journalism course back in the nineties and I hated working as a journalist. Didn’t suit me at all. So I empathise with you on that one.

My next OU creative writing course has a strong drama element in it where we will be writing for screen and radio – hence my interest. Writing for film is something I’ve always wanted to do but could never quite figure out how :-) it looks simple from the outside looking in. But, of course, it’s not!

Good luck with your creative work.
