- Come and join our interactive session with Oscar nominated producer Baldwin Li (The Voorman Problem, England is Mine). Baldwin will take you through his methodology for developing ideas: right from their inception, through to writing synopses, treatments and one-pagers, creating moodbooks and, of course, writing scripts themselves. Come away knowing what the industry expects and how to pitch it to the right audience, so that film and TV companies will sit up and take notice of your great idea!
