The Screen Accelerator Project aims to help bring productions into New Zealand, create opportunities and build international connections.
Emmy-award winning Hollywood producer Jon Kroll will work with producers to develop their idea(s) for unscripted content – specifically documentaries, docu-drama series or formatted TV shows so they can pitch to genuine global buyers.
This year, the project is a condensed 6-week programme consisting of one in-person workshop in Wellington (2 days), followed by 5 weeks of online mentoring from Jon and the team from Tall Poppy Films.
There are a maximum of 12 places, so early registration is encouraged for those who are interested.
Workshop Dates: Friday 1st November and Saturday 2nd November 2024
Time: 9.30am – 4.30pm
Workshop Venue: Yoobee College of Creative Innovation, Railway Station, 2 Bunny St, Te Whanganui-a-Tara
Cost: Totally free with lunch provided (participants will need to cover their own travel & accommodation costs)
Online Pitching: Wednesday 11th December, 2024
Who can apply: Screen producers, from emergent through to seasoned professionals from Wellington and across NZ
Registrations close: @ 11:59pm on Tuesday 1st October, 2024.
