Ontwikkeltraject

Onder leiding van coaches Mikael Bundsen en Alexe Landgren gaan zij dit najaar in drie sessies aan de slag met hun eigen filmplan. De geselecteerde deelnemers krijgen de kans om in een intensieve groepscoaching hun plan inhoudelijk naar een hoger niveau te brengen. Samen worden knelpunten en uitdagingen besproken en gezocht naar oplossingen. Door dit in groepsverband te doen, leren de deelnemers van elkaar en elkaars uitdagingen en leren ze ook analytisch en doelgericht te werk te gaan. Ook nemen de geselecteerde makers gratis deel aan Bootcamp ShortsLab, een driedaags online trainingsprogramma vol masterclasses en netwermomenten. Na dit traject zijn de filmplannen verder doorontwikkeld en de kansen voor succesvolle aanvragen bij fondsen vergroot.

Bootcamp ShortsLab en STE Writers Rooms zijn een initiatief van CineSud i.s.m. Screen Talent Europe. Deelnemende partner-organisaties in Europa zijn VGR Filmcloud, FILMVÆRKSTEDET/KØBENHAVN, Odense Filmværksted, Film i Skåne, Galway Film Centre, New Noardic Wave, Film Stockholm, Filmwerkstatt Kiel and Mediefabrikken.
