LIM I Less is more is a training programme dedicated to script development for 1st to 3rd feature film projects. The training aims to boost the script development at an early stage and to enhance the filmmakers’ ability to accelerate the writing process while working with creative limitations. Participants will learn new ways of storytelling and will get to know innovative writing tools.
At the end of the programme, participants can present their projects to international producers, co-producers, sales agents and film funds at LIM MEET and receive valuable feedback.

The programme welcomes writers/directors from all over the world and is open to filmmakers coming from the fields of theatre, documentary and visual arts.
