Stichting Sources proposes two different long-term training programmes to support exceptional story development with capacity building in professionals in competences and networks and to achieve high quality products: Sources 2 Script Development Workshops focus on story and script development for the screen (web, cross-media, cinema, television). Participants are professional screenwriters and teams of writers, producers and directors developing feature-length film and creative documentary projects. The objectives: Raising the standard of know-how and craft skills of professionals, promoting the development of stories with cross-border relevance and production potential, exploring innovative narratives, structures and technologies for storytelling, scouting audience consumption and monetisation, disseminating best practices among professionals, facilitating knowledge sharing among colleagues and advisers, fostering cooperation networks. The workshops are high-powered work units including an intensive seven-day residential session, a coached three-month development period (on-line), one follow-up session (more follow-ups to be booked on request). Sources 2 Projects & Process – Training Mentors for European Screenwriters and Filmmakers shares the Sources 2 project and process philosophy, its mentoring approach and methodology with professionals working in the position of mentors in the field of script and story development for the screen and offers a forum for exchange and evaluation of experience. The aim is to improve the skills of professionals working across many settings (broadcast, narrow cast, production companies, distributors, commissioning editors) in transferring knowledge, developing human resources, mentoring and encouraging creative processes – which finally lead to productive and efficient collaboration through sound story management across all platforms and formats. In addition, Sources 2 offers lectures, masterclasses and consultancy in Europe.
