Festival Finale! #LondonSWF

Well, another year has gone by, the fourth in the life of the London Screenwriters’ Festival and every year there is so much to see and it seems to grow in community, comradeship and courage as do we, the writers who attend. So much goes into making this space for us to gather and learn from those who have long careers and great screenwriting knowledge but we learn from each other too and from the attitude of inclusion that the festival fosters. A huge, huge thank you to every single person who contributed to making the festival happen. We appreciate it so much and it means a great deal. We hope to see staff and volunteers again in 2014 which I’m sure Chris is already preparing for. As he so often likes to say. Onwards and Upwards!

And finally me. Leilani Holmes. Actor, writer and director I’ve been for the duration your festival tweeter and blogger.

A bit tired. Sad it’s come to an end. But already looking forward to the year ahead.
