To encourage Breton professionals to create and collaborate at European level, the Région Bretagne/Rannvro Breizh/Rejion Bertègn and LIM|Less is More are offering up to 9 Breton participants the chance to take part in a six-day workshop from 20 to 25 October 2024, focusing on the creative process prior to writing.

The LIM Boosting Ideas workshop is designed to help scriptwriters and directors to delve into the emotion, structure and power of the story at an early stage, before embarking on the development in the long term and even before writing.

As for creative producers, the aim is to strengthen their ability to follow the development phase of feature film projects by discovering new tools to aid an exciting development process, and at the same time help the author to shape and reinforce both story and meaning.

LIM embraces limits as a catalyst experiences The idea that the more this can be explored and determined before the writing process begins, the more powerful a first draft will be.
