On 21 September 2010 screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna delivered a lecture at BAFTA HQ as part of the Screenwriters on Screenwriting series.

McKenna is responsible for the screenplays for films such as 27 Dresses, Morning Glory and The Devil Wears Prada - the latter of which earned her a BAFTA Adapted Screenplay nomination in 2006.

In this lecture she discusses her entry into the industry, her thoughts about the craft of screenwriting, and takes questions from the audience.
