Introduction

This workshop was a module of the 2009 Fast Forward Programme. Fast Forward is a career focused programme for industry professionals looking to develop their skills to the next level. Click here for more details.

Producer as Developer is a one-week intensive workshop which aims to deliver the following content:

  • Practical script editing.
  • Project development.
  • Intellectual property.
  • Team management skills and knowledge required to lead a feature film through the development and 'packaging' stages.
  • Working with writers, directors, commissioning editors, script editors, lawyers, agents and executive producers.

Using a team based workshop structure, participants will be kept active throughout the week, dealing in detail with complex development problems via extended role-playing exercises on their 'projects'. As well as a lead tutor, the workshop will draw on the skills of a professional script editor, a screenwriter and an agent.

This workshop is aimed at Production Managers, Production Co-ordinators, Script Editors or other production grades who have some working knowledge of industry practice in physical production but lack skills and confidence in dealing with the script development stage of feature film production. The workshop aims to challenge participants to discover and declare their taste in cinema, practice basic development work and model the management.

The majority of the teaching time will be taken up with an induction into the script editor's working methods, including a discussion of a sample script and subsequent screening of the eventual film.

The project is a workshop held in-house at the LFS.

Fee: £290.00 (all fees include a Skillset subsidy, therefore this course is not eligible for individual Skillset bursaries)
