Mentoring by Oscar-nominated and #1 Netflix hit producers in a medieval castle in France

Our annual Scholarship Contest is here, and we are offering one FULL SCHOLARSHIP, as well as several partial ones, to be mentored, in person, by Academy Award-nominated producer Andrew Lazar (AMERICAN SNIPER, PERSUASION, I LOVE YOU PHILLIP MORRIS).

Lazar, whose offices are on the Warner Bros lot, and who has a first-look deal with them to distribute his films, will be joined by British producer Andrew Cole-Bulgin, who produced the #1 Netflix series THE KISSING BOOTH, and who is actively on the look-out for new projects.

Rocaberti (one of ‘8 Unmissable Writers’ Retreats Worldwide’ - American Express), will be handpicking the winner to come to the retreat to work with either Lazar or Cole-Bulgin, one-on-one, whilst also having the experience of a lifetime in a medieval castle in France.

 — THE SCHOLARSHIP CONTEST IS FREE TO ENTER —

In addition to the full scholarship winner, top-ranking finalists will be offered a partial scholarship of 1,500 euros towards the retreat fees. (Usual cost: 5,495 euros.)

 

Other top industry mentors at Rocaberti include:

  • Kelly Edwards, Former VP of Talent Development for Warner Media, who has a writing and producing deal with HBO under her Edwardian Pictures banner.
  • Simon Egan, Academy Award-winning producer of THE KING’S SPEECH.
  • Jen Grisanti, former Studio Exec and the Writing Instructor for NBC's Writers on the Verge.
