Every autumn BAFTA hosts the Screenwriters Lecture Series, a chance to find out how the world’s leading storytellers do their thing. This month The Guru brings together three up-and-coming writers for a debrief.  

Thomas Eccleshare (recipient of BAFTA's JJ Screenwriting Bursary), Matthew Barry (whose work was showcased at a BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Forum in 2012) and Nat Luurtsema (whose work was showcased at a BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Forum in 2014 + has since been BAFTA-nominated) came to this year's lectures and went out across the UK for an encounter with their writing heroes.

They join Rhianna Dhillon to discuss what what we can learn from these screenwriting gurus.
