We invite you to sign up for the Sony Venice Group at the Film Spring Open Workshop 2021. Marcin Koszałka will be its mentor this year. Habilitated doctor of film arts, cinematographer, screenwriter and film director. Awarded at festivals from Gdynia to Teheran. In his personal life: mountaineer, climber and marathon runner.
Group Description:
“For 10 days we will be working on a short fictional form. We will create a script based on a short story by Łukasz Orbitowski entitled: Bloody Lolo. On the first day together with the author of the text we will prepare a thriller script, choose actors and film locations. The modern Sony Venice camera is a great tool. We will get to know it, of course, but the most important thing for us will be a film as an artistic work, a practical realization”, says Marcin Koszałka.
The Sony Venice Group participants should send a presentation of their previous achievements to: biuro@filmspringopen.eu.
