Screenwriters' Lectures: Frank Cottrell Boyce

Disney, despair, suspense and persistence, all promoted by the writer of 24-Hour Party People and the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony.

"Invisibility is a superpower", says one of Britain's premier screenwriters. Dismissing fame, these extended highlights share why suspense should structure a story, why inspiration can strike late and why no writer need despair. The lecture is interspersed with others discussing the patterns in Frank Cottrell Boyce's work, which includes A Cock and Bull Story and 24-Hour Party People.
