About Alkin
Hello Aspiring Screenwriter! I'd love to support your adventures in screenwriting. I'm currently optioned on two feature film screenplays, one of which secured prestigious development funding from Film Wales. If my number one passion is screenwriting then my very close second passion is sharing the craft with others hoping to navigate the craft. I've been a lecturer in screenwriting, directing and related film disciplines for over a decade, and was formerly the course leader for the third year B.A (Hons) Film Production at Brighton Film School. I completed my fifth short film just weeks ago and have already achieved BAFTA qualification for 2025 having made official selection at 2 BAFTA qualifying festivals. My previous short films have won awards at Toronto Indie Shorts, Boston Independent Film Awards, Toronto Film & Script Awards and made official selection at Aladerri International Film Festival, Venice Shorts and BAFTA nominating Carmarthen Bay Film Festival, Aesthetica, Sao Paolo (a semi-finalist for the Grand Jury prize) to name a few. My work has also secured distribution with Shorts International and also Shorts TV and has been funded variously by Film Wales, Creative Europe, Creative England, the UK Film Council and Screen South. I seek to bring much-needed innovation, simplicity and creativity to the way screenwriting is taught and offer an unparalleled screenwriting experience and a personal approach in my sessions through bespoke individual support.

Alkin was one of my tutors when I attended Film School 10 years ago, so influential was his tuition I owe a lot of my screenwriting confidence to his guidance. We have always stayed in touch and so recently I signed up to one of his latest courses. It was so instructive and inspiring it gave a whole new lease of life to my writing again.
I'm not a novice but we all need help sometimes to see through our stories with clarity - doing the course with Alkin equipped me with the skills to be able to spot and diagnose potential problems from the plot, characters down to simple description and action.
The feed back from short practical assignments throughout were invaluable and personalised the knowledge being learnt so I could really push my creative and technical writing. First time I did dread seeing the notes all over the page like I was back at Film School, thankfully the annotations were always instructive, encouraging and put the theories we discussed into practice.
I would highly recommend Alkin to anyone, advanced or beginner, as it has helped me find joy in writing where I was starting to find frustration - plus he is a script wizard!
Thanks Alkin - could talk story, film and theory with you all day - always a pleasure!See more recommendations
