The lab unfolds through intensive writers’ rooms, on-location and on-line,
which create a dialogue between projects’ factual basis and authors’ active perspective.
Reality and storytelling reconcile so as to reach the heart of the matter. Mentors deep-dive along with participants into the material, be it a personal story or one with larger socio-political ambitions.
The lab also includes masterclasses by international professionals offering insight on how to bring truth to the table, and then how to market it.
