About Nordic Script
Nordic Script is a unique opportunity for Nordic writers and story editors to hone their skills under mentorship guidance, to network with fellow Nordic colleagues, producers and commissioners, and to get access to inspiring masterclasses.

The hands-on writing training and networking initiative, consists of three residential workshops of four days each, organised by Nordisk Film & TV Fond in collaboration with Oslo Seriedagene, the Göteborg Film Festival, and Helsinki City.

Each Nordic Script lab will select up to 12 participants, of which nine will be scriptwriters. The other participants will be writers dialogue partners: story editors, producers or commissioners.

Different writing processes and skills will be taught at each Nordic Script Lab, led by various Nordic mentors (TBA), who will be coaching smaller groups in all three training sessions.

The 2022-2023 Nordic Script will focus on series writing.

The working language is English.
