Dive deep into the writing process through an intensive development workshop.
TFL Extended - Film is addressed to teams of international professionals, with projects at an early development stage who are willing to dive deep into the writing process through an intensive development workshop.
Participants will have the rare opportunity to discuss their work in group sessions and one-to-one meetings with high profile tutors and to develop their projects with the help of a creative team of talented writers.
25 projects will be selected to work in 5 groups, each guided by a tutor with a wide international experience as a script consultant.
Throughout the workshop, the participants will test a wide range of possibilities for the creative development of their projects by working on the treatment.
TFL Extended – Film is aimed at encouraging the creative process necessary to achieve the best possible result for creating strong stories, which can meet audience and market’s requirements.
The workshop offers coaching and training as well as answering to the specific professionals’ needs, along a 4-day trajectory.
Other than the training, the participants will have the chance to join the TFL community of international and high-qualified professionals and to network with their colleagues during the workshop.
Professionals can enhance their skills while finding productive collaborations and networking with international colleagues.
After the workshop, the participants will re-work their materials and will have the chance to receive further advice and support on the projects’ development from their tutors with an additional one-time consultancy by Skype.
