Farah Abushwesha Returns to Pulse College | The Irish Film & Television Network

The week long writing course will aim to provide students with a supportive environment that allows their natural writing talent to shine through. ‘Write Here, Write Now’ is a five day intensive course which has an interactive and proactive approach rather than focusing on theory. Participants’ own ideas and skills as a writer will be encouraged in a fun environment as part of the course.

Farah Abushwesha is a writer, producer, production manager 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’.

Moderated by Farah, the course will also feature guest speakers. Previous participants in this capacity have included actor, Bosco Hogan (King Arthur, In the Name of the Father); IFTA winning writer, Niall Heery (Small Engine Repairs), IFTA winning producer, John Wallace (Rewind, Garage); award-winning short film-makers David Freyne (Passing) and Alan Brennan (Earthbound) and documentary and pop promo maker Vittoria Colonna.

Farah Abushwesha has spoken about returning to help the students of the course, saying: “I’ve designed a hands-on course that gets you to write and to think in a creative and filmic way. 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.”
