Successful writers are excellent storytellers who know very specialized techniques for pleasing an audience with a narrative. Raindance screenplay techniques teach everything from grand story strategy to scene sequencing, from setting up and paying off scene patterns to dialogue.

Raindance Writing Courses offer a comprehensive overview of the most up to date and inspirational techniques and methods at use in the industry today, taught by the very people at the heart of the business. Our tutors are not afraid to challenge the standards 'endoresed' by the industry when they feel them out-moded. At our writing courses, you will hear what is happening and working on the street today, without the padded out, class-lengthening material and filler employed by other institutions and schools.

Raindance tutors are all working industry professionals who will teach you how films are really made. You will have access to insider information, and most importantly you will meet other filmmakers, all working towards similar goals.
