Creative Production: Development of film projects beyond financing
Objetive:
To share knowledge about production for projects in the development stage, through an online workshop open to 15 participants from Latin America, expanding the perspective on the producer's role with emphasis on their creative involvement in a film project.
By the end of the workshop, students will have reflected on their own project and will have the ability to create a dossier consistent with the type of story they want to tell and the sources of financing they want to access.
Description:
This is a Low Budget Film Project Development workshop primarily focused on those who are about to produce their first and second feature films as producers or director/producers of fiction, non-fiction, or hybrid projects. Through concrete experiences and ongoing dialogue exercises on Project Presentations - Pitch, students will immerse themselves in the world of Creative Production, beyond financing, to equip them with the necessary tools and knowledge to actively participate in the development of their stories.
