From 12 to 20 January 2013, successful applicants will meet at the Château Mercier in the town of Sierre in the Canton of Valais for an intensive focus on how best to schedule and budget European feature films in 2.5 to 10 million Euro range.
Production Value is looking for applications from Junior Line Producers and Assistant Directors, as well as projects in development by producers.
Emphasis will be placed on understanding different working conditions across Europe, and on the best practical and creative solutions to overcome challenges.
Working in teams of two, Junior Line Producers and Junior Assistant-Directors will be assigned real projects in development, brought to the workshop by their Directors and Producers, before being coached by top-level European Line Producers and 1st Assistant-Directors.
Directors and Producers of the projects play an important part in the process: they join the workshop towards the end to discuss the various concepts, options and results.
