FilmForward and script consultant Sarieke Hoeksma present a new series on the professionalisation of script development in film and television. This second edition is a Masterclass<\/a> and Deep Dive with South-African script consultant Tracey-Lee Rainers, in collaboration with Story Oasis<\/a>.\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the process of developing a film script, a screenwriter or filmmaker often works closely with someone who reflects with them on the storylines, structure, characters, themes, dialogue, genre, tone and more. This role goes by many names: script consultant, script editor, story editor, script advisor, script coach, dramaturg or head of development, among others. The variety of titles and roles within this profession is in line with the many ways in which script consultants contribute to the development of a film. They work closely with writers, yet often independently, with limited insight into the methods of other script consultants.<\/p>\n

This programme aims to connect script professionals from the Dutch and international film industry to share their perspectives on script development. How do script consultants approach the analysis of a film script? How do they engage in dialogue with the filmmaker? And how do they navigate working across cultures and within an international context?<\/p>\n

This second Deep Dive in the series features international script consultant and story editor Tracey-Lee Rainers.<\/strong> The day will start with a Masterclass, for which a ticket is included in this Deep Dive. After the Masterclass, the eight selected participants will have lunch together and start this Deep Dive session. Tracey-Lee will take a closer and more concrete look into script consulting during the afternoon. Using a case study \u2014 material participants will have read in advance \u2014 Tracey-Lee will offer an inside view of how she analyses the filmmaker\u2019s material, prepares for the meeting, and engages in dialogue with the filmmaker. Through the exchange of readings and interpretations, the group will examine different approaches and reflect on what might foster further professionalisation and collaboration within the field.<\/p>\n
