SUMMARY:Script Editing for Producers - applications close
DESCRIPTION:Share the Knowledge is proud to announce our new course\, SCRIPT EDITING FOR PRODUCERS. \nScript Editing for Producers is a multi-day workshop that equips film producers with the essential skills to develop original and authentic screen stories. In this workshop\, you will learn how to strengthen your script development skillset\, how to choose screenplays and articulate their vision\, explore the development process with creatives\, and how to provide feedback that will advance the project. \nThe course will be led by the acclaimed script advisor/doctor/editor\, Claire Dobbin! \nApplications are open now until Friday 31 May\, 5pm. \nThis workshop is designed to enable producers to engage deeply with screen stories using the language of script development and to recognise when a script is working\, when it is not\, and what to do about it. At its conclusion\, producers should feel confident about how to assess the potential of a screenplay\, how to discuss the screenplay with the writer\, how to put together the right development strategy\, how to constantly consider ways in which the writer could make stronger choices and how to assess and elevate each draft. \nUnderstanding development and the process by which a good screenplay becomes great is an essential part of every producers’ toolkit because a producer who understands development will always be ahead of the curve. \nThis workshop will run as two separate modules. \nThe first is for experienced producers (minimum of one producer credit\, either feature film or TV series) looking for a refresher course or upskilling or just the opportunity to talk about how screenplays work how producers manage script development. Course runs Friday 21 June – Monday 24 June. Apply here. \nThe second is for emerging producers (no prior credits required) who are keen to further their script analysis and script development skills. Course runs Tuesday 25 June – Thursday 27 June. Apply here.

SUMMARY:Nowhere to Be\, campaign closes
DESCRIPTION:‘NOWHERE TO BE’ is an intimate portrait of humanity shot during the global coronavirus pandemic\, pulling back the curtain on those who are usually behind the camera – showing that the need to create will always endure. \nIt’s April 2020. As the COVID-19 pandemic ravages the world\, humanity is brought to a standstill. All ages\, races\, and genders are suddenly united in experience. As people grapple with the consequences\, 31 cinematographers across 21 countries turned to an integral part of human nature: storytelling. They did this in the only way they knew how with a camera in hand. Using their art to look inward. Examining reflections\, hopes\, dreams and regrets. Uncovering the human experience of a moment in time that will define a generation. \nFilmmaker Charlotte Evans is an award-winning documentary\, music video\, and commercial director. Since starting her career as an editor in London\, Charlotte has directed\, produced and edited music videos for artists such as Benee\, Kimbra and Aldous Harding. She is currently in post-production on her first feature documentary Being Chlöe\, developed from her short OK Chlöe. \n
