This day is dedicated to independent series production. Creators,
festival directors and producers will talk about all aspects of
independent filmmaking: funding, production, distribution, and, most
important, aesthetics, style, and creators’ visions.
In the
“scriptwriting” workshop, the participants will be able to learn first
hand and from two successful independent series how the authors
developed in writing their own projects.
10-15 hours - Moderation: Joël Bassaget
Venue: KulturStation
Address: Lahnstraße 9, 35578 Wetzlar
Workshop Scriptwriting – where do I start and what's down the road?
Nicole
Fornoff, author and leading actress of "Emma’s World", and the creators
of “MEM”, Thomas Meudt, Christian Stadach and Stephan Zimmermann of Tag
& Nacht Media, will take you on a journey through their very
personal set of tools, tricks and experiences. Whether it is post-its on
the window, character development on the subway or successful
governmental script funding... the four will stop at nothing to share
everything they learned with lots of trial and error, blood, sweat and
tears during the past few years.
You need to apply here.
