Conflict: A Storytelling Masterclass

A masterclass on the 'rules' of factual storytelling by TV’s most sought-after 'troubleshooter.' A hugely respected and engaging speaker, Robert’s guidelines help even the most experienced filmmakers craft more engrossing and dynamic stories.

'Find the fairy tale, find the reason for your hero to embark on an adventure, follow your hero through gripping struggle and adventure. See your hero change under the pressure. The archetypal old tales are the best, find one and stick to it!' This is a fantastic opportunity to learn how to structure your stories so they have drive and drama, as well as offering a toolkit to fix problematic productions.

Robert Thirkell is the arguably the world's leading story consultant for television and factual features. His credits include multiple Baftas-winning series (Troubleshooter, Back to the Floor, Blood on the Carpet, Jamie's School Dinners) as well as acclaimed one-offs including The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off which won the International Emmy for best documentary.
