ABOUT

US

Run by screenwriters, for screenwriters, The Script Department is a production company that champions new and exciting screenwriters by showcasing their work.

​

We have a scripted podcast of the same name that provides script readings of short and feature-length screenplays, giving writers a chance to be recognised for their great writing, whether or not it is adapted for the screen.

​

You can find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you find your podcasts. We are also on Instagram @thescriptdepartment where we do weekly Livestream discussions. Finally, you can get all of this first here at thescriptdepartment.net.
