About Rupert
For two decades, I have taught screenwriting at all levels, from Year 6 to MA; and in a variety of settings, from evening classes to film school, including Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London Screen Academy and the London Film School where I currently teach on the MA course. As a screenwriter, I have worked in all areas of the industry and my award-winning work has featured on BBC, Channel 4 and Netflix, and in many international film festivals, including Chicago, Edinburgh, London and Sundance Film Festival. In a previous life, I directed many pop videos for artists as various as Bob Dylan, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and The Streets.

After quite a few years as a lecturer and screenwriter, I have found it to be a messier, less scientific process than the books would have you believe. There is no one approach to writing. While I have a healthy regard for theory in its place, I believe what's most important is to build trust in the uncertainty of the process and to find your own way of doing things, however much that might vary from project to project. Writing can also feel like a very isolating process. At whichever stage of your project you find yourself, I'd like to help you find your way forward. If you're just starting out with half an idea; or trying to figure out the shape of your structure; or about to embark on a second draft... these are all the kinds of challenges I most enjoy teaching. In our initial meeting, we will clarify what you'd most like to achieve, then agree on how many sessions feels right and the deadlines that might best help to incentivise your writing.

Perfect! Had an amazing lesson with Rupert full of great tips and insights.
His passion for storytelling and screenwriting is truly inspiring!- Rupert's response :
Perfect! Rupert's been extremely patient as a tutor. Sessions have been centred around a particular project, but the conversation has been more expansive, allowing me to not only rethink the story, but rethink the way I approach writing in general, giving me more confidence as a result. Thanks Rupert!
- Rupert's response :
Perfect! I'm chuffed to have met Rupert. He's deeply thoughtful about writing as a craft and is an dynamic and compassionate teacher. Rupert has helped me build a manageable writing practice, he's passed on tips to avoid classic screenwriting pitfalls, and has given me the creative space I need to explore my own voice. I trust that he'll make time to engage with my work, and give me honest feedback, which is priceless. It's lovely to work with someone who doesn't mind going on conversational tangents when my mind wanders too! I couldn't recommend him enough.

Rupert is a wonderful tutor and I highly recommend anyone considering using him. I have known him for many years, both personally and professionally, and consider him one of the best tutors I have met, especially in one-to-one environments. He is thoughtful, imaginative, and enthusiastic, as well as being highly knowledgeable and bringing much experience to the world of script writing. Above all., he is a lovely person! I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Rupert has been the perfect mentor that a starting-out filmmaker could wish for. He helped me immensely in getting to the core narratives of the stories I wanted to tell and greatly helped shape the script. Rupert has a very gentle, thoughtful, and constructive way of teaching; he always teaches on eye-level, and one of his great strengths, I think, is that he really listens to what you’re trying to achieve and then finds a way with you to get there, rather than just telling you what works and what doesn’t. On top of his script work, I have found his directing and general filmmaking advice immensely helpful.
Going beyond his capacity as my former mentor, Rupert stayed in touch with me and helped me with numerous other projects over the years, giving extremely valuable feedback, direction and advice. Thank you for everything, Rupert!Rupert is an amazing and resourceful tutor, very supportive of his students and always delivering high-quality sessions, full of advice and recommendations, references and interesting notes/comments about how to improve one's work. He is a dedicated writer/filmmaker and eager to see his students' thrive. I absolutely recommend him!
Rupert was my film tutor while I was at London Film School, and I can’t speak of him highly enough. I would always look forward to our sessions as each one genuinely made me a better writer. He was insightful, patient, and treated you like a fellow professional rather than a pupil. I was struggling with a script that, after his feedback and advice, went on to win multiple awards. He not only helped with that script but gave me practical writing advice that I still use to this day. I’m incredibly grateful to have been taught by him.
Rupert is a great tutor - creative, supportive and easy to work with, and with a huge amount of expertise in script writing for film!
