Talented filmmakers of 9 selected feature film projects and 3 script consultant trainees e-meet again this week to continue their MIDPOINT journey.

After the kickoff session followed by the first workshop held online this April, the participants with projects will now proceed to work on their scripts with three group leaders: Anne Gensior, Pavel Jech and Ivo Trajkov. Script Consultant Trainees will again join them thorough the whole process, being mentored by Gyula Gazdag while head of studies / producer tutor Danijel Hocevar will oversee the whole process.
