NORTHERN SCRIPT KICK OFF-EVENT WAS A SUCCESS

 

Northern Script Kick Off Event 22nd of April was kept this year remotely. There were young participants from all over Finland interested in scriptwriting and short films. The workshop leaders, Mette Lagerstam and Elina Vitkala, spoke in general about films and scriptwriting. In their speeches it was emphasized how short films are actually the royal genre of filmmaking and how difficult it is to make a condensed short film in which each scene and remark is carefully thought of in advance. When successfully done, the short film is considered to be a real diamond. In her own speech, Vitkala also spoke about the different funding opportunities for short films and the challenges of distributing them.

Following both Lagerstam and Vitkala’s proposal, Northern Script will start a common WhatsApp- group for the Northern Script 2022 participants administered by Vitkala and Lagerstam. In the WhatsApp group each participant can give suggestions on what kind of things Northern Script Workshop -Main Event 2022 could be focusing on this year.
