Day 5. The power of creativity. 👏

After days of developing their concepts, our participants presented their visual worlds for five real film and TV projects currently in development - this time presenting directly to the writers, producers, and directors behind them. The creativity, originality, and storytelling in the room left us speechless, proving that one brief can inspire countless incredible visions.

A high-energy day 4 in Turin 👏

Participants of the Art Department Masterclass continued intensive development work with practical assignment mentors Christina Moore and Uli Hanisch, pushing forward visual worlds, concepts and storytelling approaches for their assigned film and TV projects.

We visited the National Cinema Museum in Turin, diving into cinematic history in one of Europe’s most iconic film spaces. We also met the screenwriters and directors of the upcoming European projects our participants are designing for - turning ideas into real creative exchange across disciplines.

We wrapped the day with a shared rooftop dinner over Turin 🌆 Great conversations, connection, and a moment to breathe above the city.
