Description
This is a year-long, project-based, writing and development programme. it is composed of three residential workshops in three different cities and a number of one-on-one online meetings. Each workshop consists of peer-to-peer development sessions, one-on-one meetings and master classes with experienced industry figures, including writers, producers, financiers and sales companies. writers will develop their selected one-page idea through to a developed feature-length script. at the same time, producers become involved in the development process, offering the writers the opportunity to strengthen their own development skills whilst simultaneously building cross-european relationships with the writers and other producers. Writers’ ideas will reach the stage of a developed script. industry involvement in the workshops ensures that the scripts are developed with an awareness of the market. The involvement of key industry figures offers networking opportunities and helps producers understand market concerns, and how they should be considered alongside development.
