Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland, in partnership with the European training development programme LIM | Less is More is offering 10 placements for Irish writers, directors and creative producers to take part in a six-day workshop from 6-11 April 2025, focusing on development before entering the writing process.
LIM Boosting Ideas Workshop aims at helping scriptwriters and directors to dig deeper into emotion, structure and the power of the story at early stage, before entering in the long run for development and even before writing. As for creative producers, the aim is to strengthen their ability to follow the development phase of feature film projects by discovering new tools to help an exciting development process, and in the meantime help the author shape and strengthen both story and meaning.
LIM embraces limitations as a catalyst for exciting film experiences and in doing so, bring out a filmmaker’s imprint, enabling their work to stand out. The idea that the more that can be explored and determined prior to the writing process beginning, the more powerful a first draft will be.
Accommodation and meals will be provided as part of the programme. Successful applicants must make their own travel arrangements to attend the six-day in-person workshop in Cork.
This programme is supported by Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland through the Screen Stakeholders Funding Scheme
This workshop is not aimed at creative teams of a writer and a producer already working together. The week of the workshop is designed to gather a variety of filmmakers / professionals from different backgrounds to explore the dynamic and dig into the best of this collaboration. Applicants with a background in theatre, documentary and visual arts are also encouraged to apply.
The exnteded deadline for applications is Wednesday, 29th January 2025.
