THE WORKSHOP
The Film Garage is a new Creative Europe MEDIA workshop created by Scuola Holden in partnership with the London Film School, with the collaboration of Courmayeur Noir In Festival.
The Film Garage is focused on genre movies (thriller, horror, action and road movies) with the aim of helping the participants work on their projects and resolve underlying script problems.
We will select nine writers’ scripts that suffer from using cliché in an unimaginative way and need an expert eye to work on these problems.
The selected projects will have a full inspection at The Film Garage to check their roadworthiness and prepare them for the road to production.
HOW DOES IT WORK? THE STRUCTURE
The Film Garage consists of three sessions:
1) First Session: Turin, June 2015. A five day meeting focusing on the projects in the workshop. A Panel of European professionals active in the film genre industry will advise the participants on the target audience of the projects and address the weak aspects of the story, and strengthen the script’s potential. During this session all the participants will work on the projects divided into three different groups coordinated by the three tutors: Alberto Marini for horror movies, Luke Schiller for thrillers and Lucian Georgescu for road movies.
2) On Line sessions: from July to November 2015 the participants will work on the development of their script, with online support via Skype and email.
3) Final Presentation: Courmayeur, December 2015. In the final session, participants will attend a training pitching and present their projects in front of a panel of carefully selected genre producers.
