At the opening ceremony of the Asia TV Forum & Market (ATF) and ScreenSingapore at Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre on Wednesday (7 Dec), Minister of State for Communications and Information and Health Chee Hong Tat announced the launch of WritersLab, a scriptwriting masterclass by Infocomm Media Development Authority in collaboration with LASALLE College of the Arts, to hone storytelling skills for television and online platforms.
Homegrown film-maker Lim Jen Nee, 39, who had previously written the script for the mystery drama film, Truth Be Told (2007), is among the eight selected participants to take part in the 10-week course from 9 Jan to 17 March 2017. She shared, “I’m looking for help with how to develop authentic characters as I think we’re too plot-driven most of the time. I hope to get a great script out of this.”
