Media Arts teacher Tim Beers is an Atlantic Film Festival Script Development Program finalist
HGS Media Arts teacher Tim Beers and partner Nadine d'Entremont have been accepted into the Atlantic Film Festival's Feature Script Development Program. Along with three other feature film outlines, Tim and Nadine's submission will be developed into rough first drafts through three intensive weekend sessions under the guidance of Michael Melski, one of Canada’s top story editors. The finalists will attend pitch workshops with Michael to hone their pitching technique.
All writers will also take part in the Script Pitch Event, during the 36th Atlantic Film Festival, where the writers will pitch their feature film idea to a room of industry professionals with the aim of attaching a producer and/or director to the projects and to compete for the $10,000 development prize made available through The Harold Greenberg Fund.
Writers will be evaluated upon: the quality of the script; the demonstrated abilities of the writer within the entire curriculum of the program; and, the ability of the writer to articulate the attractiveness of the story in verbal form.
More information about the program can be found on the Atlantic Film Festival's website.
