Veneto Writing Lab is a unique writing residency addressed to international professionals, with feature film projects at an early development stage who are willing to dive deep into the writing process in an inspiring environment dedicated to peace of mind, clarity of thought and creativity.
Participants will have the rare opportunity to discuss their work in group sessions and one-to-one meetings, coached by script consultants and mentors, and to develop their projects with the help of a creative team of talented writers.
Veneto Writing Lab is an exclusive residency for writers and directors only and it offers coaching and training, along a 4-day trajectory. During the lab, the participants will also join a location tour of the territory, to live a unique experience in touch with nature.
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.
Veneto Writing Lab is organised thanks to the partnerships with Veneto Film Commission and Scuola di Cinema Carlo Mazzacurati. The Lab is supported by Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Padova e Rovigo.
