Focus SCRIPT 2025: three projects selected by MIDPOINT Institute, ShorTO Film Market et Festival Music & Cinema Marseille!

The Focus SCRIPT creates bonds between Visual Arts & Film Schools, Producers and various Industry decision-makers during the SFC | Rendez-vous Industry. The initiative seeks innovative young talents and supports them in the first steps of their debut short film. 

The recent graduates benefit from a dedicated space where they can get targeted feedback & individual guidance on their scripts at an early stage of work. 

This year, three institutions collaborate as part of the initiative and have chosen projects that will receive dedicated support. 

Congratulations to Bao Van Hoe & Loïc Meulenberg with their project ENTRE CIEL ET MER (BETWEEN THE SKY AND THE SEA)! 

Thanks to a collaboration developed with MIDPOINT Institute, the project is included as part of MIDPOINT Shorts, a year-long program dedicated to short fiction films in development. 
Bao Van Hoe & Loïc Meulenberg will benefit from personalized support to facilitate the completion of their upcoming short film. 

 

Congratulations to Chloé Wasp with her project VÉNUS CARNIVORES (CARNIVOROUS VENUS), produced by Haïku Films! 

Thanks to a collaboration with the Italian Short Film Center within the framework of the ShorTO Film Market, one project of the Focus SCRIPT will take part in “You Only Pitch Twice”.  
The director will be invited to participate in the industry event in November 2025 in Turin. 

 

Congratulations to Arthur Prader with his project L’ORMA DAL CHATSCHADER (THE HUNTER’S SOUL), produced by La Belle Affaire Productions! 

Thanks to the collaboration with Festival Music & Cinema Marseille, one of the projects from the Focus SCRIPT will participate in the next edition of the European Market for Musical Composition. 

The director will be invited to meet with composers during the next edition in March 2026.
