From scriptwriting to film production. A comprehensive year-long program combining creative writing, filmmaking, and cinema studies in the heart of Helsinki.
We aim to form a community where participants master scriptwriting and fundamentals of film production, learn to collaborate, develop empathy and creative thinking. We strive to create a space where everyone feels confident, free and inspired — to create magic both within the community and beyond its boundaries.
