  • Thanks all for a great weekend of peer/professional review plus some great socialising. Hopefully, we can meet up next year and/or share things in-between. I just need to decide what I’m going to work on next!

  • The IEWW is a wonderful opportunity to have your feature project examined not just by professional screenwriters, tutors and an experienced script editor, but also by OTHER WRITERS, who are invaluable in seeing the things you can’t see, sparking new ideas that often lead to solutions to the story issues you are grappling with.
    Derek Boyes: Writer/Director
  • I just wanted to say a big thank you for having me and my film to Inward Eye. It’s really laid bare in front of me what I need to do to write the story I want to tell, which, as I learned at the workshop, isn’t coming across on the page in a way that communicates that. It’s also made it very clear in my mind how I need to define my characters wants and needs and how their journeys progress. The one-on-ones with Vicki and Jonathan were particularly helpful. I’m looking forward to following up with them in future.
