Script&Pitch Workshops
Museo Nazionale del Cinema - Fondazione Maria Adriana Prolo
Description
Script&Pitch Workshops is an advanced course, following the whole scriptwriting process from the pitching of ideas to the treatment, and through a first draft up to a final pitch.
The course consists of three week-long residential workshops in different EU cities, two on-line sessions and an alumni meeting for 20 participants from Europe as well as the rest of the world (16 scriptwriters and 4 story editors), divided in 4 groups with one tutor each. The programme is aimed at projects at an early stage of their development. The final pitching session is held in front of 100 international producers, sales agents and other industry professionals from all over the world. The aim is to help the development of writers’ and story editors’ skills, not only on projects, but so they may become better professionals who will be able to work in the opening and expanding international marketplace.
Up to six development awards are given after the pitching in Turin, providing the possibility of further developing the project during one more year with the TorinoFilmLab experts.
Target group
Professional scriptwriters and story editors.
