At least one project from the workshop will be contracted for funded development with Epic Films and Madman Production Company.
All participants will depart with a focused development plan and a clear market pathway for their project.
Shortlisted participants will have the opportunity to discuss their projects with Madman and Epic Films before the workshop, so that mentors and workshop subjects can be tailored to the development needs of the successful applicants.
