Screenwriting & Filmmaking
There are many resources available through Griffiths Creative for screenwriting and filmmaking, or for anyone wanting to write stories. A growing number of books are available for download and purchase via links on the Books page. Downloadable scripts as well as scripts for professional production. Our aim is to make films and create tools to help others do the same.
Griffiths Creative is also the home of the “Screenwriting Tips and Tricks” a YouTube channel that helps you build skills, craft, business knowledge, and other issues facing writers in the screenwriting industry. This is not a “secret to Hollywood” site. It is a site focusing on growth and building a lifetime of knowledge.
You can leave topics on the site and we can explore them together on the channel.

Screenwriting unlike other forms of writing, is one of the most challenging forms. It is entirely visual and therefore challenges the writer to tell their story visually. Think of all the times you have looked at someone and thought, “I wonder what they are thinking”. In a novel the author can simply tell the reader. In a screenplay the writer has to find a visual way of getting this information to the reader. The tools, discussions and resources on Griffiths Creative will help you to do this and produce the screenplay you have always wanted to create.
Books
The books, like the site and Youtube channel, are focused on skills.
“Tools Not Rules” is a collection of tools and methods used to develop characters, stories, worlds, and plot. It does not dictate how you use them. You can create a traditional story, a non-linear story or even a TV series using these rules.
LOGLINE is a book that will help you create a compelling logline, the first step in selling your screenplay.
