Regent's University London 2024 Robert McKee International Screenwriting Scholarship

Robert McKee, a Fulbright Scholar, is the most sought-after screenwriting lecturer around the globe – having dedicated 30 years to educating and mentoring screenwriters, poets, novelists, playwrights, documentary makers, producers and directors internationally.  

Stories live inside us all. Too often, talented writers from diverse backgrounds remain unnurtured and lost. I’m thrilled to partner with Regent’s University London and give voice to those yet to be heard.
