WHAT TO EXPECT

The Owl Screenwriting Workshop will be held in Athens January 12-15, 2027.

Screenwriters are invited to participate in the full Owl program in Athens which comprises of

one-to-one mentorship
panels from industry experts
masterclasses from screenwriting experts
peer-to-peer review in TV and Film cohorts and
numerous networking opportunities with Greek and International industry professionals.

The Athens Film Office and the City of Athens cover room and board costs, tuition fees and experiences such as walking tours, networking opportunities and potential screenings.

A follow up session will be held online in June 2027. Having completed an intensive workshop in Athens, screenwriters will submit a second draft of their Feature Film or TV pilot. In June, they will participate in a group workshop, led by prof. Scott Myers, where each cohort member has read each other’s revised scripts.

Screenwriters will benefit from:

A wider range of critiques, feedback, and suggestions
Developing their critical analysis skills by reviewing and critiquing other scripts.
Stronger group connections that foster collaboration and may continue beyond the programme
