He has worked with Norwegian writer Sara Johnsen (Occupied, July 22, Vinterkyss) on the teen horror series Bloodlust. He is currently co-writing several graphic novels series, including Robot Lord Rising for Caurette, Nephilims for Le Lombard and The Man Who Sold the World and developing narratives for video games.
Compelling storytelling lies at the heart of all successful media forms, and as media platforms increasingly converge, talented writers stand to benefit from a plethora of opportunities. While film, television, video games, short-form videos, graphic novels, and books provide diverse outlets for writers' narratives, these mediums tend to operate in separate silos, limiting the reach of stories.
This workshop aims to empower writers to transcend traditional media boundaries and explore the possibilities of developing their stories across multiple platforms. By crafting their narratives as intellectual properties from the outset, writers can increase their chances of reaching a wider audience and maximizing the commercial potential of their work.
This course is suitable for writers with an interest in developing their stories for multiple platforms.
Please apply online by Friday, 16th February 2024 with a current CV, briefly outlining your focus for attending the sessions. This can be included at the top of your online CV.
Screen Ireland skills opportunities are open to all regardless of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or disability. If you require supports, please let us know in advance so we can put these in place to assist your learning.
