Structure
A three-day creative lab designed for creators eager to explore how environmental, climate-related, and socially impactful themes can be integrated into compelling screen stories — offering an alternative to dystopian narratives. The program is project-based, with participants developing feature film or series concepts at various stages of development or integrating impactful narratives into their existing proposals.
Combining joint creative exercises and playful assignments with focused work on individual projects, the workshop encourages participants to experiment, collaborate, and deepen the narrative meaning of their stories.
