Free LIM + Screen Ireland Boosting Ideas Workshop in Cork

In partnership with the Creative Europe supported training development programme Less is More (LIM), Screen Ireland offers the chance for up to 10 Irish participants to take part in a Boosting Ideas workshop from 6-11 April 2025 in Cork. This programme is free. Accommodation and meals are also covered.

LIM Boosting Ideas Workshop aims to help scriptwriters and directors to dig deeper into emotion, structure and the power of the story at early stage, before entering in the long run for development and even before writing.

As for creative producers, the aim is to strengthen their ability to follow the development phase of feature film projects by discovering new tools to help an exciting development process, and in the meantime help the author shape and strengthen both story and meaning.

This workshop is not aimed at creative teams of a writer and a producer already working together. The week of the workshop is designed to gather a variety of filmmakers and professionals from different backgrounds to explore the dynamic and dig into the best of this collaboration.

Applicants with a background in theatre, documentary and visual arts are also encouraged to apply.

Application Deadline 19th January 2025

• Scriptwriters and directors apply with one early-stage project for a fiction feature film they would explore through the week. Applying with the summary of an advanced script is not advised.
• Creative producers apply without a project.
• Applicants with a background in theatre, documentary and visual arts can apply without a project.
