Regent’s University

Fuelled by People by Leilani Holmes

Any festival is really only ever as good as it’s people. And screenwriting is about people, it’s about touching people, watching people, learning about people, and hearing people’s stories. I have to say that one of the things that will always stay with me, from the three days I’ve just spent, are the amazing delegates, speakers and staff, all of whom were incredible people to be around. I felt part of something big and I wanted to spend a little bit of today spending time with folk, and just enjoying being one of the screenwriters enjoying this shared experience of being a screenwriter. Something many of us never get to do.

Some people had come from America and other far away places just to be here at this event. Many had given time and expertise to make this happen. Still more stood behind the festival and supported it. All worked hard to keep it running like clockwork. Everyone contributed by their presence.

Here are some photos of just a few of the wonderful people who made this festival so fantastic. I enjoyed being around everyone. Thank you. Thank you all very much.

I look forward to staying in touch with the friends I have made.

Bring it on!
