Red Sea Lodge

The Red Sea Lodge nurtures the next generation of filmmakers from Saudi, Arab world and from 2023 edition also from Africa, in partnership with TorinoFilmLab. This intensive creative and professional training program turns ambitious emerging filmmakers into the next big thing.

The Red Sea Lodge, in collaboration with TorinoFilmLab, selects projects for creative and professional mentorship, development, and next-level industry opportunities.

In 2023, the Lodge expands across ten months and five workshops (plus 1 only in February, designed for Saudi projects) to give you a broad overview and strong grounding to explore your project's full dramatic and production potential. You’ll be mentored by a Head of Script Development and Head of Production, with guidance from specialists across the industry.

Alongside ongoing script development sessions, the program features a producer's coaching program and covers professional development, production, financing, sales and marketing. During the workshop participants also have the opportunity to work with internationally experienced experts from the fields of directing, cinematography, editing sound, and post-production, sales.
