Developing scriptwriting techniques and introducing new talents have been a major focus of MEDIA training since the beginning. the overall idea is also to strengthen the collaboration between writers, directors, producers, and script editors at the writing stage.

We propose eight different courses on script/story development. they mainly target experienced scriptwriters. their objective is both to help the development of a script while developing scriptwriting techniques. they are project-based and hence preferably require at least a treatment and a first draft, and also preferably should have a producer attached.

With the exception of éQuinoxe Germany, which is an intensive week-long workshop, they are year-long training courses, with several workshops favouring a group work approach with online sessions in between. SOURCES 2 is one of the most experienced programmes (with more than 80 films made). MFI Script 2 Film proposes longer residential workshops. ScripTeast specifically targets scriptwriters from Central and eastern europe. Save our Scripts will help the development of projects from one-page idea to full script. Script&Pitch is linked to TorinoFilmLab, which can offer subsequent development and production financial support. Pygmalion is specifically designed for the development of projects for child and family audiences across all audiovisual media (animation, fiction, etc.). Sources 2 proposes a Mentor Training course for script editors, producers or commissioning editors working as mentors of scriptwriters.
