Nobody ever ended up in Candlelight Lane by accident. If you were there, it was because you intended to be there. No signs pointed to it, no maps showed it and the road leading to the single street hamlet was completely hidden from view by the surrounding hills. It wasn’t even on Google Street View. If you were there, it wa Read more of this blog post »

Focuses heavily on building skills you already have. It also introduces screenwriting, plays and radio plays. Quite enjoyed the challenge of trying to bring in film techniques to fiction and it’s something I would love to work on further.
