My name is Frederica and some of you may know me from helping out on courses in London.

I look after Raindance's social media side, doing work on our Twitter and Facebook to make sure that everyone knows about the resources that Raindance provides for filmmakers.

I'm also responsible for the Raindance Premium Member's newsletter which goes out each month with lots of discounts, scripts and offers for Members.

One of the best things about my job is getting to meet lots and lots of new and upcoming filmmakers, both at the festival and at the Raindance courses.

As you'll see on our website we've got some great courses coming up including Direct Your First Feature taught by Simon Hunter. Simon's first feature film, Lighthouse, gathered critical acclaim and helped him raise Hollywood finance for his second feature!

Read on for some great articles, including TV Writer's Resources and Tutor Dave Cohen talking about whether comics should resign themselves to their gags being copied.

If you've got any questions about the courses we offer, e-mail us here or call us in the office on 0207 287 3833.
