eQuinoxe Europe e V is a cinema script and project development program for professionals.To date, the program has supported 175 projects, mostly EU and a few international. In the year 2016 we successfully executed two workshops in EU countries and eleven projects from various workshops have gone into production and/or been released. Additionally, another 5 projects are in financing with an impending preproduction begin in 2017.Our advisors were from four continents – Asia, Australia, North America and Europe. The participants were from Germany, Austria, Northern Ireland, England, Switzerland, Canada,Latvia, Sweden, Spain and Hungary.The Berlinale Brunch, the annual alumni event for participants and partners of the program, was held for the fifth year with great success. We integrated a producer roundtable before the brunch, bringing 8-10 producers from different workshops together in a concentrated networking situation. This was well received.We offered Master Classes with two different lecturers and topics in 2016 – one from Indianscreenwriter, director, producer Dev Benegal with an “Introduction to Indian Cinema”, and one from USA screenwriter of the iconic comedy “Groundhog Day”, Danny Rubin, who, in addition to working with participants on screenwriting exercises, introduced and explained the process of adapting his screenplay to the film into a musical. The musical opened at the Old Vic Theatre in London in August to astonishing success and will open on Broadway in April 2017. The point of the class was to expose writers and producers to the ancillary rights of exploiting a project.
