FAQs
You may ask
-
I am just a writer/director, do not have a producer attached to the project yet. Can I apply?
Unfortunately, no. The crucial part of the training leans in strengthening the team work and building strong creative team, that is why – writer and producer must always participate together.
-
As a producer, why I am required to participate? Do I need to actively participate?
Yes, exactly. We are aiming for producers who are used to (or want to start) to be a part of creative process, to know the project better, to understand it better in order to develop it better.
-
I am not born in Slovakia, but I am developing a Slovak project with majority Slovak financing. Can I apply?
Yes, as far as you can understand Czech and Slovak language on intermediate level.
