The lab unfolds through intensive writers’ rooms, on-location and on-line,
which scrutinize and advance each film script globally, focusing on authors’ distinctiveness of approach.
Furthermore it attacks next steps, offering tools to effectively place projects in the market, from pitching the idea to festival strategies for the finished film.
Participants are guided by mentors that approach projects
with high intensity and sensitivity to their individual artistic pursuits.
