Emerging writers based in the South East are invited to apply to our upcoming Project Lab (Writers) in Margate.
Taking place on Thursday 28th March 2019 at Turner Contemporary, this Project Lab will offer support to talented writers based in the South East hoping to develop a feature film treatment or a short film script.
The lab will focus on story and development and will be led by Script Editor Kate Leys (see Kate’s biog here) with support from Film Hub South East’s BFI NETWORK Talent Executive Tom Wightman. Each participant of the lab will be invited to offer feedback to the rest of the group.
These labs are set up to support writers and teams who may be interested in applying to the BFI Network funds for early treatment development and short film funding.
Lunch and refreshments throughout the day will be supplied.
Run in partnership with Film Wave Margate, a bi-monthly get together for aspiring and experienced filmmakers to meet each other and explore the magic of cinema.
With many thanks to Turner Contemporary for supporting this event.
