Tiana Linden

Hello!
I'm a screenwriting and filmmaking tutor working with young people, with many years of short film making, screenwriting and playwriting behind me. I have taken my plays to the Edinburgh Fringe, won director prizes for my short films, and been shortlisted for BBC Writers Room. I have taught for BFI Academy, Young Film Academy, as well as schools specialising in preparing young people for careers in the arts. I completed a Script Development diploma with the National Film and Television School in 2016. I've also been an English literature teacher and tutor for many years, guiding students through their GCSE and A Level. I have tutored for agencies Enjoy Education, Fleet Tutors and for Birmingham City University.

Do you want to work on your film, story, play or radio play? Let me help you with structure, character, story and imagery. Is there a compelling reason for your action? Do you keep the reader or viewer engaged?
Want to direct? Let's talk about visual grammar, pre-production, and editing.
I draw on my experience as a filmmaker, as a teacher, and as an avid reader and film watcher, to guide you to the most honest, impactful and connected version of your work.

I am a patient, enthusiastic mentor who will be ambitious on your behalf and will hold you to account with your projects. Let's talk about what you need and how I can help you push forwards and complete your projects. Don't hesitate to contact me for an initial discussion about how I can help and to see whether we're a good fit!!
