SOS - Save Our Scripts
The Bureau Film Company ltd.
Description
SOS is an opportunity for writers and producers to meet and collaborate in a creative environment. As well as developing specific scripts and building development skills, the scheme aims to connect emerging writers and producers from all over Europe. SOS will run from April to December 2011; there are three residential workshops in different European countries, as well as virtual script meetings.
SOS For Writers
Writers on the programme, consisting of one residential workshop, will develop a feature-length script from a one-page idea. This is done through intensive workshops that feature industry professionals, development support from the SOS mentors, and structured input from the producer participants and writing peers.
SOS for Producers
Producers on the programme will build their development skills. The two workshops in this module will feature industry professionals from whom the producer will learn development tools and new ways of approaching this creative process. Moreover the producers will have an invaluable
opportunity to practice their development skills with the six scripts being written on the programme.
Target group
Producers seeking to strengthen their skills and experience of script development; script writers ready to develop a feature film project.
Benefits
Writers develop a full length script from a one-page idea, and also expand their knowledge of writing tools and the development process; producers gain fast-track experience of script editing, and build on their development tools and ability to manage the script development process.
