ScriptLab

Starting in March 2021, this 9-months feature film development program will enable scriptwriters to finish their scripts (or drafts of scripts) starting from the treatment stage. The course will feature two multiday residence-sessions with writers rooms, masterclasses and discussions (on several locations in the province of Limburg, the Netherlands), online sessions with script consultants and networking and pitching sessions during filmfestivals. The first confirmed coach is Jolein Laarman. The other mentors for the third edition of CineSud ScriptLab will be announced in November 2020.
