Just Do It - Euroscript

JUST DO IT
EUROSCRIPT: Free Networking Event

Come and talk to writers who've put their script on the screen.

Many film makers experience the frustration of working for years on a cherished project only for the movie not to be made. Now meet the directors who dealt with that frustration head-on - and hands-on - and made their films themselves.

How did they succeed, against the odds and against the grain?

The good news is if you follow the right steps, you can turn that script into a feature film without being ground down by an industry that can often seem designed to disappoint and discourage independent writers and directors. The key is knowing the right information. That's what this event, and these directors, can give you: the knowledge, the contacts and the know-how that will set you on the path to making your own film, your own way.
