From November 3rd to 12th, a group of aspiring filmmakers and producers were given the opportunity to participate in an intensive Producing Feature Film Development Workshop, led by renowned American producer Dina Emam and esteemed Egyptian producer Muhammad Taymour.
Maggie Soboil’s 3D Screenwriting workshop was an intensive program that focused on developing rich, believable characters. Through a series of exercises and techniques, participants discovered keys to creating three-dimensional characters for more authentic and compelling screenplays. The workshops were limited in number to give each participant time to work on their material.
The workshop aimed to empower participants in strengthening the narratives of their documentary projects. Under the guidance of esteemed mentors Marouan Omara and Blair McClendon, filmmakers delved into various aspects of their work. They explored the art of structuring film ideas, striking a balance between different storylines, and utilizing cinematography, sound design, and editing techniques to enhance the storytelling experience.
