Northern Writers: A Great Source

Northern writers have draw praise from a European screenwriting course tutor Jan Fleisher following the success of SOURCES held in Newcastle 12 months ago.

Fleisher says "For some reason you have all these great writers coming out of this region… there are much better writers here than in London."

Northern Production Fund is now in negotiation with the Media 2 European screenwriters course SOURCES, to return to the North in 2002/3.

Northern Production Fund successfully hosted SOURCES in March 2000 with 16 regional writers and producers and participants from Wales and the Netherlands. Visiting lectures were held by Peter Flannery (Our Friends In The North) and Ken Loach.

Follow up sessions for SOURCES were held in Newcastle and Cardiff and SOURCES gave special awards to Rachel Matthews and Duane Hopkins for further development of their screenplays.
