MFF School is a cross-cultural film workshop held at the Mediteran Film Festival in Široki Brijeg, Bosnia-Herzegovina. During a 12-day film workshop, local and American students pitch, produce, edit, and then screen their film on opening night of the film festival.
This is an open invitation for all MFF School and Outside the Lens students, alumni, community, friends, and fans to submit scripts for MFF School 2018.

What does that mean?: If you are interested in submitting a script, you could possibly have your film produced at this years' workshop. All scripts must be submitted to lucy@outsidethelens.org by August 5, 2018. All are invited to submit! Once a script is submitted it will be available for MFF School students to pitch at this years' workshop.

What language should i write my script in?: The script can be written in English, or one of the official languages in BiH, or combination of these languages. Please write in the language you are most comfortable with, as scripts can be translated into any language needed for production.

What should my script be about? Is there a theme? Or a prompt?: This year we will be shooting in Široki Brijeg, Bosnia-Herzegovina. You can take advantage of all the cool spots around the city such as Borak, Duhanjska stanica, or maybe a specific interior location that you like. We encourage storytelling of all genres, from comedies to thrillers to dramas and beyond. We also welcome treatments or outline for documentary or hybrid film concepts!

Can I collaborate?: Yes! Students are encouraged to collaborate with others and can submit scripts together.

What if my script it chosen?: If your script is chosen and you are at MFF School this year, you will be involved in the writing room. If you are not present at MFF School, you will be invited to be part of the writing room remotely, by skyping in at odd hours depending on your time zone from August 14-20.
