Story Camp Aotearoa is a residential feature film lab that cultivates writers and their projects by fostering voice, honing craft, clarifying vision and kaupapa through in-depth story sessions between international and local advisors and the selected filmmakers.
They welcome feature film projects (narrative or documentary) that are ready for an in-depth development process to apply. Selected writers or teams will participate in a rigorous four-day experience designed specifically to meet the development needs of their project.
Alongside in-depth story sessions with advisors Script to Screen will tailor the lab to include exploration opportunities through various approaches like project-based group workshops; directorial vision work, workshopping with actors; and collaborative teamwork and decision-making.
Alumni of Story Camp who have progressed their films into production include Caterpillar (recently receiving NZFC production funding July 2024), Ms. Information, Cousins, The Justice of Bunny King, There Is No I In Threesome, Juniper and Nude Tuesday.
