Writing Hub is dedicated to short film projects in development, offering filmmakers a privileged space to deepen their scripts and strengthen the foundations of their projects.
Participating filmmakers get personalized script consultancies, allowing time and attention to be given to story, structure, characters and intentions. The program encourages thoughtful dialogue and close collaborations, adapted to the specific needs and stage of each project.
Beyond scriptwriting, Writing Hub provides tailored consultations on other key aspects of project development, such as producing & financing strategies, film packaging, career development… These sessions are designed to help filmmakers articulate their vision clearly and position their projects within the short film industry landscape.
Writing Hub is conceived as an intimate working environment, where projects can evolve with care, clarity and rigor before moving into production.
