Talentscope

TalentScope is the leading talent development program for emerging Dutch directing talent who have already proven themselves with a short or feature film and are ready for the next big step: a first or second feature film! Through the TalentScope Program, the Netherlands Film Fund offers film talent not only funding but also an intensive, high-quality coaching program that allows the director, along with the (co-)writer and producer, to lay a solid foundation for the further development of a new project. TalentScope is a collaboration between the Netherlands Film Fund, FilmForward, ACE producers, and TorinoFilmLab.
