A special thank you to Earls Court Film Festival, who in 2024 kindly supported NDC, (Neurodivergent Creatives) to write their first draft for a Short Films.
SurgeryScript unique workshop method is designed for dyslexic and neurodivergent writers, directors, and actors. It is a safe place to explore and experiment with new work and meet other industry professionals.
It’s an opportunity for industry talent to work collaboratively and help writers progress their scripts, culminating in a short presentation and post-performance discussion.
These scripts have turned into TV shows, ACE funded plays, and feature films. We are the only organisation in the UK that provides this facility for the educationally disenfranchised at little cost and with funding we hope to expand outside of London and continue this essential resource to make it nationally available to the UK’s grassroots creative community.
DYSPLA not only produces original work with aim to explore and promote Dyslexic/Neurodivergent narrative, we also provided essential Script Development support to over 220 writers and directly worked with over 700 artists through our SurgeryScript platform since 2010. This much needed support has made the creative industry more accessible to those writers and artists, without which, many of whom would not continue to be engaged in the creative sectors.
