Open to professional scriptwriters or writers/directors from all over the world. THE NETHERLANDS | 20 -25 June 2024
TFL Extended – Film is addressed to teams of international audiovisual professionals, with fiction feature film projects at an early development stage, who are willing to dive deep into the writing process through an intensive development workshop.
Throughout the workshop, the participants have the opportunity to discuss their work in group sessions and one-to-one meetings with high profile tutors and to develop their projects with the support of a creative team of talented writers.
TFL Extended – Film aims at encouraging the creative process necessary to achieve the best possible result for conceiving strong stories, which can meet audience and market’s requirements.
The programme offers coaching and training adapted to the specific professionals’ needs, along with a 4.5-day trajectory.
Other than the training, the participants will have the chance to join the TFL community of international and high-qualified professionals and to enhance their skills while finding productive collaborations and networking with colleagues worldwide.
Online follow-up session: after the workshop, the participants have approx. 2 months to re-work their materials and receive further advice and support on the projects’ development from their tutors with an additional one-time consultancy online.
