Have you ever considered writing, and in fact making, your own Web Series? Euro Scriptchat is joined by writer Sandy Nicholson on Sunday the 19th of May as we talk about the process behind the production of a Web Series.

Sandy Nicholson
My name is Sandy Nicholson and I’m a scriptwriter for television, theatre and film.

I recently wrote and produced the web series Comfort Food, the first world’s first narrative based cooking show, releasing on June 10th on Blip.tv. Comfort Food has gathered some minor interest from the BBC, and was awarded Best Screenplay at the Braine Hownd short awards.

Recently I was head writer on season 1 of Cabu Cabu, a Nigerian remake of the Israeli show BeTipul, which was also remade for American audiences by HBO as In Treatment

I have written advertising campaigns for companies such as Wonderbra, and work as a composer and performance poet around London, as well as working with the head of new writing at KDC Theatre.

Finally, I run the Central London based script feedback group Kites and Violence,which offers tough feedback for people serious about their craft.

Join us as we chat to @Sandy_Nicholson on Sunday the 19th of May at 8pm BST.

Euro Scriptchat will be joined by writer Sandy Nicholson on Sunday 3rd of September


Euro #scriptchat will be joined by writer Sandy Nicholson on Sunday the 2nd of September as we chat about his latest and very exciting project Not Long Now.
Ever wanted to write in collaboration with other writers? Sandy will talk us through his new multi-writer Zombie play. If you want to get involved, Sandy is still looking for submissions from writers, the deadline is September 3rd. 

A little about Sandy Nicholson:
My name is Sandy Nicholson and I'm a scriptwriter for film, television, theatre and radio. I've written for KDC Theatre and the Tin Can Podcast, as well as writing and co-directing my own recipe rom-com web series. Comfort Food, which won the Braine Hownd award for best screenplay in 2011. I was given special mention by the London Comedy Writer's festival in 2011 and have recently signed to work with Starfront Pictures LTD on an upcoming feature length horror film.

My latest project however is an immersive horror theatre experience set during the early hours of the zombie apocalypse. The audience are rushed away from the danger into a large building, where several groups of survivors are waiting on various floors. The audience can explore the building, finding the survivors and choosing who they will accompany. All these plots will then play out simultaneously with the audience in whichever group they chose, but things get more and more chaotic as the groups clash with one another and the zombies start to break into the building. Each group of survivors will have their own writer, and that's why I'm looking for submissions from writers who want to get involved. Deadline is September 3rd.

I also work as a script reader, Chair of a Central London based writer's feedback group and guest lecturer at various universities on the subjects of characterisation in dialogue and philosophy of attraction.

Come join us as we chat to @Sandy_Nicholson on Sunday September 2nd at 8pm BST.
