Kids Kino.Lab, script development programme, has opened its call for submissions
Kids Kino.Lab is an international script development programme for film projects and TV series for young audiences. It is dedicated to scriptwriters and producers who are interested in developing their films (live action, animation or documentary) or a TV series.
During the workshops, 12 teams (producer + scriptwriter) will be developing their projects from short synopsis to the second draft of the script together with production basics (estimated budget, financing and promotion plan).
Kids Kino.Lab is open to the projects from all the European countries. The workshops will be conducted in English. The cost of the programme is 1600 EURO per team (Accommodation and food for participants is provided by the organizer).
Schedule
The workshops last ten months and consist of four stationery workshop sessions (5 days each) and three online consultations with the lead Tutors. Each session of the workshops takes place during a film festival for children or an industry event.
- I session – Synopsis – January 2021 – Poland.
- II session – Treatment – March 2021 – JEF Festival, Antwerp, Belgium.
- III session – First draft of the script – May/June 2021 – Zlin Film Festival, Zlin, Czechia.
- IV session – Second draft of the script – September 2021 – Kids Kino Industry, Warsaw, Poland.
How does it work?
During the programme participants will be divided into three groups (two groups will develop full-length film projects and one group will develop TV series), with four projects in each group. Each of the groups has its own lead screenwriting tutor who supervises the projects through all the workshops.
Through the entire course the producers will be guided by a production tutors who will help to develop the project from the production perspective.
The film groups develop projects from the synopsis stage (initial concept) to the script’s second draft.
The TV series group develops their concepts for a TV series, the outline of the first season, a synopsis of all the episodes, and the script for the pilot episode.
The producers take part in all the creative work on the screenplay while also preparing the project’s financial strategy, a marketing plan, a budget and a production package for the project.
Among our Tutors there are Kirsten Bonnen Rask, Armin Prediger, Philip LaZebnik and Ronald Kruschak.
