Open call for development workshop with Tue Steen Müller
The focus of the 13th edition of MakeDox is on development of ideas.
6 projects in development will be selected for the development workshop with Tue Steen Müller.
Aim of the workshop:
It will be a pleasure for me to meet filmmakers, who have film proposals that are still in the development phase. Maybe you have written down your idea, maybe you have a treatment, maybe (actually I think this is the most important thing) you have some visual materials to show. The crucial part is that you are open for feedback from me and colleagues. 3 days: Introduction and presentation; Individual sessions; Presentation for MakeDox participants. And hopefully you will go home full of inspiration and what I always call “creative confusion and doubt”. – Tue
