What our students think…

I’d written a few bits and pieces when I first started studying with Lisle. With his mentorship I’ve since applied his process to commissions from the BBC, Arts Council England and a New York movie producer. My work has played in cinemas, theatres and on national radio. I can call myself a writer!
Sam Obigbesan ,
Writer
I’ve produced Lisle’s scripts for TV and cinema and I’ve been an avid fan of his threatre work for twenty years. Whatever medium Lisle is working in, his scripts produce beautiful, moving and original stories that win awards and critical praise alike. He’s also a great collaborator which is a skill all professional writers need to succeed!
Josh Hyams ,
BAFTA and Emmy winning producer, Revolution Films
I’ve worked with Lisle as a writer and director of commercials and content for the last seven years. I’ve never met anyone so committed to creating quality narratives in a business setting. His course and coaching on storytelling was invaluable to our teams in London and New York. We hope to keep working with him for many years to come!
