Abushwesha Creates Screenwriting Course for Pulse | The Irish Film & Television Network

With Farah’s guidance Pulse college hope to create a supportive environment that will encourage natural writing talent to shine through. The Screen writers lab is a five day intensive course which has an interactive and proactive approach rather than focussing on theory. It is aimed at inspiring, nurturing and stimulating students to create their own ideas and developing skills as screenwriters.

Farah Abushwesha is a writer producer and founding member of the BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Forums.. Her production work includes ‘Late Bloomers’ with William Hurt and Isabella Rossellini; ‘Micro Men’; ‘The Scouting Book for Boys’, a winner at the London Film Festival, and ‘She, a Chinese’.

Farah is proud of the course she has helped create, saying, “I’ve designed a hands-on course that gets you to write and to think in a filmic way. From Day One you will learn to verbalise what your gut is telling you, trusting your intuition and build up the confidence to know that all writing is, is moving the thoughts from your brain to your fingertips. It’s fun and far from highbrow. There is no mystery involved. On a personal note, I’m very excited to be back teaching this course again – I get a real buzz from seeing people becoming inspired and fired up about storytelling.”

The course will run from May 10th to 14th. For more information visit www.pulsecollege.eu
