MIDPOINT Smash Cut program je koji predstavlja početni korak za filmaše koji žele naučiti zanat pripovijedanja u epizodama te svojim polaznicima pruža sve potrebne alate za vrhunsko pripovijedanje za epizode u rasponu od 1 do 20 minuta.
Serije kratke forme nametnule su se kao velik moderni inkubator svježih, novih glasova generacije stvaratelja koji imaju nešto drugačije reći. Zahvaljujući svom raznolikom pristupu, MIDPOINT Smash Cut osigurava mjesto za nezavisne indie projekte solo kreatora, kao i za projekte kreativnih timova.
Sudionici će tijekom programa imati priliku iskusiti najučinkovitiji format pripovijedanja serija na tržištu razvijajući koncept svoje serije te nacrt pilot-scenarija i sezone pod vodstvom iskusnog mentora. Osim toga, imat će pristup inspirativnim predavanjima, kao i mogućnost dobivanja povratnih informacija od mentora tijekom individualnih konzultacija.
Program se sastoji od tri dijela tijekom kojih će se u grupi zajedno raditi 3-4 projekta kratkih serija, a razvoj svakog projekta nadgledat će iskusni mentori, dok će kolege sudionici također pružati povratne informacije. Online „uvodni trening“ održat će se sredinom rujna 2024., dok će se glavna radionica održati od 23. do 29. rujna 2024. u Brnu, Češka Republika.

MIDPOINT Smash Cut is a programme which represents an initial step for filmmakers who would like to learn the craft of episodic storytelling and provides the participants with all the necessary tools on how to write top-level storytelling for episodes ranging from 1 to 20 minutes.
The short-form series have established themselves as the great modern incubator of fresh, new voices of a generation of creators with something different to say. Thanks to its diverse approach, MIDPOINT Smash Cut caters for independent indie projects of solo creators as well as projects of creative teams.
The participants will have the chance to experience the most efficient series storytelling format on the current market, while developing their series concept and the outline of the pilot script and season under the guidance of an experienced tutor. In addition, they will have access to inspirational lectures and the possibility to receive tailor-made feedback from tutors during individual consultations.
The programme consists of three parts, during which 3-4 short-form series projects will be working in a group; each project’s development is overseen by experienced tutors, as well as ongoing peer-feedback by fellow participants. Online Pre-training takes place mid-September 2024, while the main workshop is to be held from 23 to 29 September 2024 in Brno, Czech Republic. The programme ends with online consultations in November 2024.
