European Lab for Film, TV and Interactive Media for Family Audiences, Part 1, Germany; Part 2, (October) Netherlands
After a year's break Pygmalion returned with a new partnership, and with PAL as lead partner
“Pygmalion identified us as talent that was worth nurturing; they created an environment that allowed us to work towards unlocking our potential. They taught us essential professional skills and gave us a platform to present ourselves and form relationships with industry professionals. The Labs gave us specialist training in the art and craft of screenwriting. Pygmalion has provided us with skills that we will use throughout the rest of our careers as screenwriters.”
