ComedyLab 2024
TorinoFilmLab has launched the first-ever international Lab in Europe dedicated wholeheartedly to comedy!
With ComedyLab, TorinoFilmLab wishes to explore the potential of comedy by bridging two worlds: the film industry and the comedy realm (encompassing everything from stand-up comedy or podcasts, theater and improvisation). In order to do so, they created the first ever international Lab in Europe dedicated wholeheartedly to comedy.
THEY ARE LOOKING FOR:
screenwriters wanting to boost their skills in comedy writing
comedians coming from different industries seeking to engage with the world of cinema
Both targets can apply with a project or not.
This programme is a truly unique club that features up to 4 carefully selected projects and follows them with a tailor-made approach, while the writers/comedians joining without a project will have the exclusive chance to deepen the script development process of a comedy feature film. Participants will also establish valuable connections with international writers, comedians, and industry professionals who share an interest in comedy projects.
ComedyLab aims to support, nurture, and enhance stories, with a clear focus on reaching a wider audience. It will encompass innovative sessions that involve working with actors, practicing dialogue, audience testing, and engaging in improvisation exercises.
At the end of a preliminary workshop the projects’ teams along with writers and comedians without a project will be participating in three workshops held between March and November 2024. This path will culminate in a final presentation during the TFL co-production forum, the Meeting Event.
The call for applications is available HERE.
DEADLINE: 20th December 2023, 11:00 am CET
