The London Screenwriters’ Festival is run by screenwriters, producers and filmmakers just like you. In 2010 we recognised the need for an event that offered intensive training, networking, but most of all a meeting place for like minded people at all stages in the journey to their own goals… and the LSF became a reality. We believe passionately that we are all in it together.
