MFI Script to Film Workshops is an advanced script and project development workshop programme, based on group work, Q&A sessions, case studies and individual consultations. It consists of four intensive workshops: two in the Greek islands of Nissyros and Samos and two on-line hosted on the MFI website.

It's primary objective is to fully develop the participating screenplays, from first to subsequent draft to final draft. Through a process of workshops which emphasize script analysis, revision and rewriting, the activity is designed to enhance the artistic values of the story material, at the same time aiming to produce solid screenplays that will have a strong dramatic impact to international audiences.

The second objective is to help participants to set up an effective project development process (presentation, pitching, fund raising and production strategies). MFI offers an integrated knowledge of all aspects of project development, aiming to introduce participants to the needs and practices of the international industry and to offer them the tools to improve their project's production potential in terms of markets and audiences, and help them reach production.
