April highlights include: SCRIPT EDITING FOR TV starting next week & WRITING FOR TV: ONLINE (enrolments close this Thursday). In May there’s: FINDING ANIMATION with Pixar artists INTRO TO VIZ ARTIST, Tracey Spicer’s TV PRESENTING ADVANCED SKILLS and INTRODUCTION TO COSTUME DESIGN.

Alexa Wyatt, a script editor and writer with over 20 years’ experience, takes SCRIPT EDITING FOR TV. Feedback for this course is outstanding: “Alexa was Fantastic! Very engaging and an excellent communicator. She gave us some great tips.”

Alexa Wyatt also takes the popular WRITING FOR TV: ONLINE course starting next Tuesday 29 April (Enrolments closing this Thursday). “The online interaction was at least as good as doing a course in person and the tutor feedback provided was worth the price of admission alone.”

Other course highlights include: ACTING WORKSHOP FOR PRODUCERS & DIRECTORS with Nadia Townsend (Mad Max: Fury Road) plus FINDING ANIMATION with PIXAR story animators and consultants coming to Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide in May – a unique opportunity geared towards practicing animators, story writers, students and creative professionals alike.  WINTER SCHOOL five day intensives in filmmaking, screenwriting, TV writing, TV presenting and radio run also return from late June through to mid-July.

That’s just a small taste of the exciting new courses we have coming up in the coming months.
