For the third consecutive year, the Morelia International Film Festival (FICM) and the Sundance Institute International Program get together for the realization of the Morelia / Sundance Story Lab, which seeks to support the improvement of feature film scripts through analysis and creative advice by prestigious international tutors.
Supported by the experience of the laureate Mexican producer Bertha Navarro, the Story Lab has designed an intensive program of personalized advice, where participants and tutors work together on fundamental themes in their projects’ writing, such as the focus of the story that wants to be told, character development and dramatic structure.
The Morelia / Sundance Story Lab 2019 will receive six projects, four Mexican and two from Latin American filmmakers, since one of the objectives of the workshop is to enrich dialogue among creators from diverse creative contexts.
A group of tutors of recognized prestige, among which stand out Erik Jendresen (United States), Naomi Foner (United States), Gonzalo Maza (Chile), Gibrán Portela (Mexico) and Laura Esquivel (Mexico), will lead the group sessions and personalized advice with the participating filmmakers and projects.
