Focus
Script&Pitch Workshops was founded in 2005 and is an advanced script-writing and development course for scriptwriters and story editors of films for both cinema and TV. We view European scriptwriting as something unique and special and therefore engage mostly European tutors, creating a healthy diversity between the individual styles of the single countries. The course lasts 10 months and we select 20 participants from all over Europe (16 scriptwriters and 4 story editors) who will follow the whole scriptwriting process, offering education through the development of projects: From the generating of ideas and structuring of the material through a first and second draft up to a final pitch in front of invited producers and sales agents.
Aim
A primary aim is to advance writers' and story editors' professional skills. The passion and knowledge of our tutors is therefore an important energy for the workshops. A second aim is to create a vibrant network for our participants and we therefore connect Script&Pitch with festivals and industry-events, seeking producers who are interested in writers and development, not just in single projects. Again, the vision is to develop people with projects, rather than projects with people attached, supporting independent creative talent.
