RESIDENCIES

Next Step further guides directors by giving them the opportunity to participate in two residencies, one at Moulin d'Andé and one at the POP UP Film lab, to continue writing the scripts of their feature film.

In 2019:

Sam Kuhn has taken part in a month-long residency at the Moulin d’Andé-Céci, during which one director will have three sessions with a screenwriter.
Oliver Adam Kusio has participated in a 3 week-long residency at the Pop Up Film Residency in Bratislava, in Slovakia, supervised by Matthieu Darras and Nadja Dumouchel.
