Justin time for a taste of Hollywood

Hollywood Director Justin Golding holds a screenwriting course at Costa Coffee STUDENTS from a Tamworth school got a taste of Hollywood from visiting film director Justin Golding.

The LA-based movie boss put a group of youngsters from Wilnecote High School through their screenwriting paces at a special workshop held at Costa Coffee in George Street.

The two-hour study group, organised by the Heart of England International Film Festival in conjunction with Staffordshire Partnership secretary Sally Smith, got to play out the parts of Golding’s latest movie Gods of Circumstance.

“The children certainly had a great time meeting a real live Hollywood director,” said Sally Smith.

Golding, 40, who originally hailed from the same Port Talbot roots as Richard Burton and Michael Sheen, moved to Hollywood to follow his dream of becoming a top director.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop and hope to do more lecturing back in the UK now,” he added. Hollywood Director Justin Golding with students from Wilnecote High
