Next Tuesday Replay: No Money, No Problem: Writing the Low-Budget Blockbuster with Fenella Greenfeld (17th February)
SIGN UP HERE
Discover how to write, shoot, and deliver a feature film for under £40k - without compromising on quality
Date: February 17th at 8pm // Online Only
Meet Fenella Greenfield, the screenwriter and now filmmaker, who turned £37,000 into an internationally distributed feature film. In this practical, myth-busting session, she strips away the mystique of micro-budget filmmaking to show how smart scripting choices can lead to powerful cinema without breaking the bank.
Drawing from her success with “2.0 Lucy” (now streaming on Amazon in eight languages) and her latest feature “10 Swords & The Moon,” Fenella shares the crucial decisions that make or break an ultra-low budget production – starting with the words on the page. As a Euroscript founder and award-winning storyteller across multiple mediums, she understands that limitations often spark the most creative solutions.
This isn’t just theory – it’s battle-tested wisdom from someone who’s worn every hat in production while still paying industry rates to cast and crew. You’ll learn practical strategies for writing producible scripts, from managing locations and cast size to crafting scenes that prioritize performance over spectacle. Fenella even demystifies the financial side, sharing insights on securing funding and navigating tax credits without expensive consultants.
Whether you’re dreaming of shooting your first feature or looking to make your existing script more production-friendly, this session offers concrete pathways to getting your film made without waiting for big budgets or industry gatekeepers. Come ready to challenge your assumptions about what’s possible with limited resources – and leave with a roadmap to making it happen.

Anthony Horowitz’s journey into screenwriting began with what he calls pure desperation – not his own, but that of the producers of Robin of Sherwood who needed someone to write for their show. With no television writing experience whatsoever, Horowitz literally bought a “How to Write Television” book and taught himself the craft. LISTEN HERE
