What is the LSF?
The London Screenwriters’ Festival is an annual gathering of screenwriters. With over 1,000 attendees, 100 sessions, 150 industry expert speakers and the biggest names in film and TV (from both the UK and Hollywood), the LSF has become the premiere screenwriting event to attend. Come and join the movement and community. There is a full guide and breakdown of the festival HERE.I met producers who hired me to script-edit a film with the producers from Star Wars, Blade Runner and Alien. An amazing experience that I would never have had without the LSF."
