Screenwriting Mentorship
Plan for the writing before you need to rescue it
Most directors bring in support only once they're stuck, the development money already spent, the draft not quite working, and no budget left for the help they suddenly realise they need.
It doesn't have to happen that way.
The strongest projects treat script development as part of the plan from the start, not an emergency at the end. A pair of expert eyes early, while there's still time and room to work, is what turns a promising draft into a script that's ready for the gate it has to pass.
You usually get one real chance at each funding stage. The time to make your script undeniable is before it goes in, not after it comes back.
Plan for the writing. Don't rescue it.
For writer-directors and screenwriters who are working on a feature film or TV series (fiction, animation, or documentary), and want to:
Turn “good ideas” into “strong scripts” that can capture a producer’s interest, succeed in pitching opportunities and funding applications.
Develop confidence and creative tools for their current and future projects.
Grow as writers, discover their voice, perspective, and unique way of storytelling.
How does it work?
The mentorship runs on regular one-on-one sessions.
We work on your writing at your own pace, according to the needs of your project.
We progress from the first idea, or draft, to a fully developed version of your treatment, script or TV show.
Each session is a time to reflect, make decisions, clarify, and write in preparation for the next meeting.
Copyright, including any contributions made to the story during the collaboration, remains entirely with the author of the project.
Learning the craft
If you want your story to work on screen, awake emotions in the audience, and reach the professional level that cinema and television demand, this Mentorship can help.
The Screenwriting Mentorship provides regular, precise, and supportive guidance. It’s a dialogue from writer to writer.
It offers a professional and safe space to:
Move your story forward
Receive expert feedback
Strengthen your voice without losing your authenticity
The goal is to train writers who can confidently support their vision with creative discipline.
When getting funding gets even harder
As the OFC states in the Ordinance on the Promotion of Cinema (OECin; RS 443.113) 2026–2028: "It will no longer be possible to submit a second request for screenwriting support or project development funding."
Now is the time to strengthen the writing phase and give your project the best chance of securing funding.
