TV/Film Development β€” ADAM LAVIS

June’s intake of my 1:1 screenwriter development programme is open!

Writers I work with win comps, sign with agents, and get scripts optioned!

Times are tough so I’d love to offer 1 FREE place on a bursary.

What the fairest way to pick someone?

Thinking about running some mock writers’ rooms, just a one-day thing where six writers get together and try to build a new show from scratch. No pressure, just a way to see what it’s like to be in a room. Would anyone be up for that?

Here are a few images from my debut feature film, SabotΓΈr. It has been such a wonderful project to work on and a period of my life I know I'll forever remember fondly. Still some work to go but we're working hard to make a unique film that people will LOVE!

Send us good vibes!!

How it started / how it’s going

I seem to find myself giving all the writers I work with the same note and it’s proving to be the hardest note for writers to take, impossible for the majority.

But for the writers that do, the results speak for themselves. Comp wins, festivals, agents and options!
