London Screenwriters Festival

14/03/2026

Behind every great festival is a team that makes the impossible happen.

Today’s production meeting brought together the brilliant minds working behind the scenes to build this year’s London Screenwriters’ Festival, the people making sure the ideas, the speakers, the sessions, the tech, and the magic all come together.

Massive shoutout to the team putting in the work: Chris, Lisa, Ollie, Judith, Bob, KT, Lucia, Maxim, Heather, and Gabe. Your dedication, creativity and collaboration are what turn a vision into a world-class festival! 💯

The momentum is building. The planning is real. And we can’t wait to welcome you home ♥️

Thrilled to announce that Catherine Hardwicke will be flying in from LA to attend LondonSWF this year, for cool sessions and a Script To Screen with Twilight. She is a total rockstar and I am AMPED this is happening! And I just posted an intervierw we did with her BEFORE Twilight when she was riding high on her success with 13, an interview that went in the Guerilla Filmmakers Handbook in 2006 or so.

In 2006, we interviewed Catherine Hardwicke for the Guerilla Filmmakers Handbook, before 'Twilight' and after her indie hit '13'. I am thrilled she is joining us for this years featival and as she was then, and is now, her eccentric, indie spirited and inspirational energy will infect us all!
