SCRIPT & PITCH

Since 2005 NISI MASA has been co-organising Script&Pitch, an advanced script development course for scriptwriters and directors of first and second features from all over the world!

The course lasts from March to November 2012, and foresees 3 residential workshops, 2 online sessions and 1 Alumni meeting. It follows the entire scriptwriting process, offering close collaboration and insights into the challenges of each step, from generating ideas and structuring the material through first and second drafts, up to a final pitch in front of producers and sales agents.

Script&Pitch is for both scriptwriters and story editors and is therefore open to professional scriptwriters, writer-directors, as well as to story editors, writer-producers and development executives.
