Congratulations to WIFT member Jayde Hudson, who is one of eight filmmakers selected for the tenth South Shorts Mentorship Programme, by Script to Screen! Over the next six months, she and other participants will embark on an incredible journey of development led by acclaimed screenwriter and director Briar Grace-Smith (Rūrangi, Cousins, Waru). During this time, the participants will take part in five group workshops that will include script read-throughs, group discussions, writing exercises, and insightful sessions with guest filmmakers. By the end of the Programme, the filmmakers will have produced a polished script.
Filmmakers who go through South Shorts leave better equipped to take the next steps towards production. The sense of community and support that comes from being a part of South Shorts is a big part of the Programme.
Jayde we wish you and all fellow participants the best success in the journey ahead.
