SCRIPT POOL COMPETITION SHOWCASES FIVE COMPELLING SCRIPTS
This year’s international Script Pool competition, which highlights film scripts, features projects from Finland and Latvia, along with three co-productions involving Germany.
Triin Tamberg, the manager of Script Pool programme commented that this year’s selection includes exciting projects that would resonate with audiences. "During the event, project representatives will have an excellent opportunity to work with renowned script doctors and improve their pitch, which will surely increase the projects' potential in the future," she adds, as each project will be able to pitch its story to a top specialist in the field and receive one-on-one feedback.
