Synopsis

Ever felt the dread of a blank page staring back at you? Us, too. Join the team at Magnetic Boots as we take you through some basic screenwriting steps in our 5 week course, which you’ll finish with the first draft of a short film. Aimed at actors who want to start making their own work and are looking for some help on the way, over the course of four in-person sessions we’ll look at some of the fundamentals of screenwriting. Loglines - what are they and why are they important? How do you create a beat sheet? You’ll also receive feedback tailored to your work along the way from Shelley, a current writer and storyliner at Shortland Street, and the writer and director of award winning short film Hand in Hand. Once your first draft is completed, you’ll then receive feedback from a CELEBRITY guest tutor on your script and how to make your storytelling the best it can be. At the end of the four sessions, our superstar producer Georgia will provide a run down on how to get your films made, including funding options, as well as how to make your film without funding. Join Magnetic Boots as we explore storytelling and expand your skills along the way.

  • Magnetic Boots Productions

    Magnetic Boots Productions was created in 2022 by  Georgia Hoffman, Muna Arbon and Shelley Waddams. They say: "After graduating from drama school, we found ourselves trying to figure out our place in the industry. We quickly realised that we all had a strong desire to create our own work that really meant something, and we loved working together. And so Magnetic Boots was born. Since then we've had a number of projects made under our name, some of which have gone on to win multiple awards, along with a multitude of personal achievements as well. Our latest venture has been focused on growing our community — giving artists opportunities to play and explore, and sharing our collective knowledge through workshops and gatherings. We hope that through our passion for sharing, we can help new and emerging talent find their place in the arts, just like we did. Magnetic Boots Productions is all about being brave and bold, making mistakes, getting back up again, all while learning and having fun along the way. We hope to inspire others to do the same."
