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<p>This programme aims to connect script professionals from the Dutch and international film industry to share their views and 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<p>The third Masterclass and Deep Dive in this series features Hungarian screenwriter and director <strong>Gyula Gazdag<\/strong>. The Deep Dive takes place in the afternoon, for which we will select eight participants. <b><em>The application window for this Deep Dive has closed.<\/em> <\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Who is this Deep Dive for?<br \/>\n<\/strong>This Deep Dive is intended for script consultants, script editors, script coaches, and other script professionals.
