Independent Film Trust (Ift) has launched its second transatlantic “Creative Corridor” co-production initiative to increase screenwriter diversity in film and television.
The Creative Corridor program will unite seven U.S. writers of color and seven U.K. writers of color to explore collaboration across both territories. As well as networking, the program will give participants the opportunity to practise pitching, attend masterclasses with industry leaders and develop their commercial expertise.
2021’s Creative Corridor program saw 90 of the projects considered for further development by major entities and 4 writers gain agency representation.
The second iteration of the program, which will run from Oct. 22-Jan 23, is backed by Sony Pictures Television (Spt). Spt’s backing has ensured the program remains free for participants as well increasing the number of places available for 10 to 14.
Roadmap Writers and FilmmarketHub are also lending their expertise to the initiative.
