About this Event
KAREN HAS MADE AN IMPRESSIVE NUMBER OF SHORTS AND IS CURRENTLY IN POST-PRODUCTION ON HER SECOND FEATURE FILM
WHAT'S THE POINT OF A SHORT FILM?
We all need to showcase our creative talent somehow, whether we write, direct, produce - or do all three! Advances in digital technology mean films can be made for lower budgets than ever - and the practical experience gained by making a short can be worth its weight in gold. (Best learn to walk before signing up to run a marathon, right?)
Karen Newman has made 12 short films in total. Her debut feature JUST CHARLIE was released in 2017 to critical acclaim and went on to win several awards. Her new movie LOVE WITHOUT WALLS is due out soon.
So what is it that motivated Karen to make short films in the first place? What has she learnt from the process? How did those films get her noticed - and open doors for her that might otherwise have remained closed? And what does she look for in a short film script, when planning her next project?
Karen Newman will be in conversation with screenwriter/producer Anji Loman Field at the Euroscript Speakeasy, followed by audience Q&A.
PLUS - PITCH YOUR OWN IDEA!
Anyone who buys a Speakeasy ticket can APPLY FOR A SLOT to pitch an original SHORT FILM story at the Speakeasy, and get instant feedback from producer Karen Newman and the Euroscript team - for free!!
You'll get 90 seconds to pitch your story (elevator-style).

KAREN NEWMAN's next feature film LOVE WITHOUT WALLS is due out soon.
EVENT LO-DOWN
If you've never been before, the Euroscript Speakeasy is a small but perfectly formed industry event created by professional writers, for writers, about writing for film, television and radio.
Learn from established writers, producers, directors and other creative professionals. You'll get to hear the inside stories, ask your own burning questions and meet other like-minded folk.
We meet in a cosy room above a pub in Fitzrovia, central London. It’s all very friendly, informal and relaxed. Stick around after the event to network with other writers, producers & directors at the bar.
