Sara is één van de zes deelnemen van het 2019 Screenwriters Lab georganiseerd door het Whistler Film Festival. Van wat ik ervan begrijp zal ze ondersteund worden tijdens het schrijven van een script genaamd ‘A Search For She.’ Voor het project dat enkele maanden zal lopen is ze is geselecteerd uit zo’n 40 deelnemers die zich aangemeld hadden.

WFF Announces Finalists for 2019 Screenwriters Lab
June 4, 2019
The Whistler Film Festival (WFF) has selected six Canadian screenwriters to participate in the six-month, multi-phased 2019 Screenwriters Lab. Chosen from a pool of over 40 applicants, the finalists will participate in a competitive program focusing on advancing feature-length projects from the script stage into production by facilitating mentorship and feedback from industry experts across the business spectrum. Phase I runs from June 23 to 28, followed by four months of mentorship, while Phase II runs from December 4 to 8 during the Whistler Film Festival + Summit.

WFF’s Screenwriters Lab is a feature script development program that brings together independent screenwriters from across the country to work intensively with key film industry personnel. The participants will work in private, group and market-oriented sessions to develop both creative skills and business opportunities for their projects. Designed to analyze the writer’s intentions, the program challenges participants to rethink script-to-screen strategies and chart a course for eventual production.

The six screenwriters and projects selected for the 2019 WFF Screenwriters Lab include:

Adam Hussein (BC) with NOWHERE’S HOME
Heather Schmidt (AB) with DISSONANCE
Jules Koostachin (BC) with BROKEN ANGEL
Julia Lederer (ON) with WITH LOVE AND A MAJOR ORGAN
Sara Canning (BC) with A SEARCH FOR SHE
Sheona McDonald (BC) with BACK BY MIDNIGHT
