It will support and guides filmmakers as they develop film projects, and will empower and enable them rather than tell them what to do. By using new media, participants of Network will be active in their own development.
Network is aimed at screenwriters, directors and producers, individually and in teams, who have proven experience and are ready to break into feature production, or who are breaking into it on a low budget scale.
Knowledge is power. Network will bring participants together in a series of ways to enable them to share knowledge, pool resources and support each other in addition to receiving training and skills development from leading industry professionals. The creation of a virtual network to support the development of both projects and individuals means that participants will not be affected by clashing work commitments, lost earnings or last minute scheduling.
Network is funded by Skillset Film Skills Fund and Creative Scotland.
