About the course

The MA Screenwriting programme is designed to enable you to develop the skills and understanding needed to work as a writer in today's screen industries. You will gain advanced insight into the work of a screenwriter – deep understanding of screen storytelling and professional scripts, working across a variety of screen platforms and industry contexts, writing short form and feature length scripts, the writer’s role as initiator and enabler, professional working practices and employment strategies.

Specific topics range from storytelling and formatting scripts to pitching ideas and projects, from working alone, in partnership or in writers’ rooms to selling ideas to producers and editing scripts in collaboration with other creatives.

Supporting a Black Student of talent in memory of Dan Demissie

Recognising the importance of accessibility, diversity and inclusion within the screen industries, MetFilm School is pleased to announce our new 2023 Voices That Matter Scholarship – for a Black Student of talent in memory of Dan Demissie.

On the 30th July 2019, MetFilm School graduate Dan Demissie tragically lost his life. Dan was a student on our One Year Filmmaking programme, during which time he pitched an idea for a feature film to the MetFilm Production team. That idea turned into the feature film, Town of Runners, which Dan – as a graduate – coproduced. Dan later went on to study at the NFTS and came back to MetFilm Production as a producer on School in the Cloud.

Released in 2012, Town of Runners tells the story of two young girls, living in a rural town in Ethiopia, Bekoji, as they try to run their way to a different life, and follows their highs and lows over three years as they try to become professional athletes. Through their struggle, the film gives a unique insight into the ambitions of young Ethiopians living between tradition and the modern world. Little White Lies described the film as the Sleeper Hit of the Olympic Year, and Total Film said: “In an Olympic year, here’s an inspirational reminder of what it’s all about.” Watch this inspiring little film of Dan’s perspective on the evolution of this film.

Together with his family, we are delighted to announce our new Dan Demissie Voices That Matter Scholarship in his memory, which will offer a full-ride scholarship to a MetFilm School BA or MA programme to one black student each year.

Full tuition fees of the accredited course are covered for the duration of the course. This does not include costs towards accommodation, expenses or additional mentoring and coaching.
