IFP’s Script to Screen Conference is the place for writers and writer/directors to explore the art, craft, and business of writing and creating the next generation of independent film and media.
Script to Screen explores new opportunities available to indie filmmakers and directly connects aspiring and working creatives to the decision-makers of the film, television, and new-media world.
Now more than ever filmmakers have myriad opportunities available to develop, create, and fund their latest projects. But in this rapidly changing environment – and with so many projects for the industry to choose from – writers and writer/directors of all levels still struggle to get their latest work seen, sold, and produced.
Featuring
Intimate conversations with award-winning writers and directors.
Hands-on workshops.
