This is a unique opportunity to hear from a writer working at the top of the game and to ask questions about their craft, career, and work.

Jimmy McGovern's name is synonymous with powerful, hard-hitting drama. In a career that spans over twenty years he has created landmark shows that include Cracker, Hillsborough, Sunday, and The Street. But how does one of the country's leading screenwriters work? How does he get these difficult projects from inception to broadcast? A unique opportunity to hear from Jimmy and to ask questions about his craft, career, and work. This talk at Cineworld coincides with the Northern Screenwriters Conference and is free to delegates, £5 for others. Advance booking recommended.

Produced by NSC08 in association with AV Festival 08.
