Pitch
Constellations offers a unique, shared creative experience for those professionals who are concerned with the major artistic decisions of any production. Upon completion of the two Modules, the participants will have acquired precise expertise on their projects and practical monitoring skills they can use for the benefit of their current and future projects.
It is usual to say that the "golden" triangle - scriptwriter, director or transmedia designer and producer - is at the heart of any successful project development. The ambition of Constellations is to foster the interdisciplinary co-operation within the development teams and to strengthen its actors' creative skills in order to improve the quality of the scripts while fostering a market perspective to reach a larger audience.
