We are the script writing community in Nottingham, Leicester, and beyond.

A diverse group of people gathered in a dimly lit room, sitting in a circle and engaged in a discussion or meeting, with some taking notes and others using laptops or phones, with warm ambient lighting and a wall with an eye mural in the background.
