The Draft that Changes Everything - Kerri Davenport Burton

Main Info

This is a hired event

Sometimes the most important draft is the one shaped by a fresh perspective. This talk explores the value of bringing a creative consultant into the development process; someone who can challenge assumptions, uncover missed opportunities, and help writers, directors, and producers see their story through a new lens. From strengthening character and theme to refining structure and emotional impact, the right feedback can transform not just the next draft, but the future of the entire film. Through real-world examples and practical insights, this session reveals how the right collaboration at the right moment can change everything.

Her award-winning films have been screened internationally and recognised by organisations including the British Independent Film Awards and Raindance.
