MFI Script 2 Film Workshops is an advanced training initiative under the umbrella of the MEDIA Programme of the European Union. Essentially a script & project development program, it is based on group work, Q&Á sessions, case studies & individual consultations, and consists of 4 intensive workshops (2 on-location in the Greek islands of Nissyros and Samos, and 2 on-line hosted in MFI’s web site).
Its primary objective is to fully develop the participating screenplays, from first or subsequent draft to final draft, through a process of workshops that emphasize on script analysis, revision & rewriting.
Its second objective is to help participants to set up an effective project development process (presentation, pitching, fundraising & production strategies) and help them reach the stage of production.
The 2 residential and the 2 on-line workshops make up an intensive half year-long program based in the spectacular Greek islands of the Eastern Aegean. Some of the most established screenwriting teachers as well as producers & industry representatives from Europe and the USA are engaged as trainers in the activity. Furthermore, MFI invites renowned international filmmakers and industry experts for its lectures and Q&A sessions.
