Script&Pitch accepting applications for 2011 Writer’s Room workshop
by Cineuropa
The TorinoFilmLab, in cooperation with Power to the Pixel, is launching a new call for a workshop on developing a trans media project, written and developed by Michel Reilhac (head of ARTE France Cinéma), in a team setting.
The selected group will be part of a Writer’s Room that will work together under the guidance of tutor/story editor Gino Ventriglia. Participants will workshop the project (the details of which will be given them upon selection) over 10 months of development, thereby experimenting the team process, finding ways to work together and exploring how to best develop a transmedia project.
The project, which already has a producer attached, will be developed by the group along with Reilhac, who will participate in the residential sessions together with the tutor. The aim of the group work process is to enrich the project, pre-selected for its quality and value, by developing its various aspects (events, gaming, film and so forth). The group will present the results of their work at the TorinoFilmLab Meeting Event in November.
This call is international and is aimed at professionals working within cross-media and transmedia, such as story architects, games writers, audience engagement designers, writers (script, TV, journalists etc.) and producers who have experience in cross-media production.
The workshop comprises three weeklong workshops – in March (Sweden), June (France) and November (Italy) – each of which will introduce a new guest trainer and a new area of development. There will be Skype follow-ups in between workshops. The Writer’s Room group will work alongside the four script development groups, exchanging experiences along the way and meeting with the rest of the Script&Pitch participants – to create one big group.
The application deadline is January 30. Up to five participants will be selected for the Writer’s Room, preferably from different fields of storytelling and with diverse backgrounds, so as to support the workshop’s teamwork aspects.
