It’s delivered by multi-award winning Edinburgh-based film and television producer and experienced Writers' Factory lecturer, Nigel R. Smith. Trained at the Media Business School in Spain and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the US, Nigel’s many and varied credits include children's space adventure sitcom Intergalactic Kitchen and Tartan Short, Cry for Bobo, for the BBC.
