The Intl. Screenwriter Workshops & Master Class Program, is a short-term, 8-day, residential, intensive, high-end training program steeped in pedagogical layers for 36 experienced European screenwriters and producers, hosting internationally-acclaimed tutors working in the film industry. There is no rewriting during the workshop. Rewrites are obligated to be delivered in 3-6 months. The activity is formatted into 3 components with the first and second components during the residential phase and the third component taking place 3-6 months later via skype. The components are:1) one-to-one trainer/writer sessions, 2) Master Classes on screenwriting for participants, and 3) a follow-up consultation with an advisor on the rewrite. Value-added features during component 1 include the “Special Sessions” with a media lawyer for writers a) Writer Rights, and producers b) Co-producing. Screenings of films from the program and advisors are presented during the week and the local film commissions make presentations. The workshops are held in spring and autumn in different EU/EEC countries. Our Master Classses attract ca. 300 Europeans per year. Augmenting these events are the concentrated networking events in Berlin and Cannes festivals supporting the expanding international network.Powered by experience, fueled by inspiration.The distinction in our program is that industry professionals writing for studios and have a filmography people recognize are the tutors, as opposed to people who teach screenwriting and have never had a film produced or even written a screenplay. These professionals participate for no remuneration. The second distinction is that we invite the writers to attend the program, giving them the opportunity to work with colleagues they respect and admire. Working alone one becomes blind to a script. We are a script development program for professionals to bring them out of their isolation to discuss their script with professionals not related to the project.
