This year I joined the international team of trainers at the Mediterranean Film Institute (MFI).
The MFI was founded in 1998 as a specialized training platform and has been bringing together screenwriters, directors and industry professionals from all over Europe and the Mediterranean region ever since.
At the heart of the program are the Script-2-Film workshops, which have been a creative breeding ground for cinema and TV projects since 2000. In an intensive and at the same time safe learning environment, material is accompanied from the initial idea to the market strategy.
The annual program consists of four workshops: two on location (including on the volcanic island of Nisyros and later on Astypalaia) and two online phases. The participants work in small writers’ rooms, receive individual coaching, lectures and practical pitch training.
As a trainer, I introduce the participants to working with AI.
