By ARCHIE THOMAS

LONDON — Pawel Pawlikowski, Tony Grisoni, Sandy Lieberson and Rebecca O’Brien are among a strong lineup of U.K. filmmakers lending their expertise to the third edition of the London Film School’s MA screenwriting course, which is accredited by government-backed sector skills training org Skillset.

The course, which has already spawned successful screenwriters in its short life, is particularly interested in recruiting emerging talent from other writing areas who are keen to specialize in screenwriting.

Industry pros will provide one-on-one mentoring for successful applicants throughout the one-year course.

LFS alumni include current chairman Mike Leigh.
