Description 

Maia Workshops is an advanced training programme for emerging European producers.

This course provides producers with the fundamental creative and managerial skills needed to steer a fiction or documentary project through the different phases of development, production and distribution. Particular attention is paid to new and innovative ways of making and marketing
European low-budget films.

Maia is structured in three independent five-day residential workshops:
1. Creative aspects in development
2. Legal and financial issues
3. Marketing and distribution.

Each offers a tight combination of case studies, theoretical lessons and practical exercises, specific work on participants’ projects and one-to-one meetings with tutors and trainers, plus great networking opportunities.

Participants can attend one, two or all three workshops, with or without a project in development, depending on specific needs.
