masterclass storytelling
Would you like to explore how to truly bring a story to life?
Whether you are a producer, writer, director, or script editor, this masterclass is an inspiring opportunity to elevate your storytelling knowledge to the next level. This masterclass is suitable for anyone creatively involved in making a film.
What can you expect?
During this masterclass, the renowned British script editor Kate Leys will share her rich knowledge, insights, and indispensable tips on storytelling. In an informal setting, Kate will guide you through various aspects of storytelling: from the story arc and the art of film storytelling to developing your own story and discovering your unique voice. She also poses an often forgotten but essential question: who are your audiences? Together, we will explore the fundamental principles of storytelling, allowing you to start your work with confidence and enthusiasm.
For whom?
The masterclass is specially designed for AV professionals such as screenwriters, directors, documentary makers, script editors, and anyone involved in creating stories.
Kate’s impressive career includes her role as ‘head of development’ at Film4, where she contributed to classics such as “Four Weddings and a Funeral” (1994, Mike Newell) and “Trainspotting” (1996, Danny Boyle). Additionally, she has worked as a script editor on films such as “Baby Done” (2020, Curtis Vowell), “Brimstone” (2016, Martin Koolhoven), and “Slow West” (2015, John Maclean).
Participants in Kate’s masterclasses and workshops abroad were enthusiastic. One participant said: “As a writer, you can quickly get stuck, but Kate gives you the opportunity to ask simple yet crucial questions that smooth out your script entirely.”
