AGENT MAX GRANT | PERFORMING YOUR OWN WRITING – FULL-DAY INTENSIVE

WORKSHOP FORMAT

Max Grant's intensive workshop is divided into two focused sessions.

WRITING & PERFORMANCE: Participants will be asked to write and prepare an original two-minute, two-hander ahead of the workshop. Throughout the day, Max will provide personalised feedback from an agent's perspective, exploring character, dialogue, structure, voice and what makes a script engaging for today's industry. Actors will have the opportunity to hear their work performed and receive constructive feedback to help strengthen their writing.

CAREER & REPRESENTATION: Max will also offer practical advice on developing a career as a writer, including building a portfolio, approaching literary agents, understanding the current commissioning landscape, and what agents are looking for when considering new writers. There will be plenty of time for questions throughout the day.

Please note all contact or questions regarding this workshop should come through the RAIS office. Please do not contact the workshop leader directly with questions.

This version makes it clear that the preparation is writing an original two-minute two-hander, while positioning the workshop as both a craft session and an introduction to the business of screenwriting.

Your scenes will be recorded with broadcast-quality equipment. Upon request, you have the option to receive your footage after the session at no extra cost!
