UK Market Intelligence – 3hr evening course – £40.00 
“One of the things that amazes me is the industry doesn’t acknowledge DVD gives at least 50% of revenue” (Stewart Till, CEO, Icon UK – from ScreenDaily.com, 21st January 2010). Industrial Scripts agrees, and through close UK market and genre analysis we aim to arm writers and filmmakers with the type of market intelligence usually reserved for distributers and producers. Course dates coming soon…
