Script&Pitch Workshops was founded in 2005 and is an advanced script-writing and development course for scriptwriters and story editors of films for both cinema and TV. It views European scriptwriting as something unique and special and therefore engage mostly European tutors, creating a healthy diversity between the individual styles of the single countries. The course lasts 10 months and it selects 20 participants from all over Europe (16 scriptwriters and 4 story editors) who will follow the whole scriptwriting process, offering education through the development of projects: From the generating of ideas and structuring of the material through a first and second draft up to a final pitch in front of invited producers and sales agents.

The tutors and organizers are experienced and well connected professionals, both in their countries and on a European level. It works from the assumption that every story needs its own individual approach, and that its form is determined by its content. Inspirational lessons from the course are shared through a yearly publication: Script&Pitch Insights, supporting our passion and aim to shed more light and dignity on the scriptwriting and story editing professions.

Course participation fee is 2.000 Euro.
This amount covers workshop training, on-line sessions, accommodation and subsistence. Participants must pay all travel costs.
For applicants from the new EU member states (Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia) the fee is 1.500 Euro and 2 scholarships are reserved to participants coming from these states. Scholarships will be assigned by merit.
