SOS is an advanced script development programme for screenwriters and producers from across Europe. It is composed of three residential workshops held in the UK, France, and Belgium, and a number of one-to-one online meetings.
Dates and Sessions
The course is divided into two parts. During the initial development sixteen projects with writers are developed from a one page idea to a long treatment. The workshop will take place for one week in the UK during May, and will the be followed by two one-to-one development meetings specific to each project.
At the end of the initial period the treatment is submitted and from these projects six are selected to go forward to the final development phase. At this stage the six producers join the programme.
The second phase will see the long treatment developed to a feature-length script, which will then be presented to financiers and key industry figures for feedback. The workshops for the final development phase will consist of a week in France, and two days in Belgium, after which there will be a final virtual one-to-one meeting.
