Project based script development training including two intensive 5-day workshops in Budapest, Hungary and an On-line follow-up session.
3 Workshop Sessions for developing feature film screenplays
The Katapult - European Script Centre's training activity consists of three intensive workshop sessions over a period of 8 months.
Two of them, the 1st and the 2nd ones are residential and take place in Budapest, Hungary. The 3rd session is On-line.
Our IT resources provide space for a continuous follow-up for the projects.
The format of this training activity, the organisation of two intensive 5-day workshops, provides good opportunities for intensive work within small groups. The 30 participants are comprised of teams of writers / directors and/or producers, arriving with 15 projects to develop. In the 3 groups, each led by a principal tutor, participants work on a maximum of 5 film ideas. Such a set-up ensures that everybody's screenplay will be dealt with in detail.
