Screenwriting Workshop from The Royal Film Commission in Jordan

The Royal Film Commission announces the "Narrator" screenwriter workshop, which is an annual workshop held for five days, in which a number of independent Arab screenwriters participate with the scenario of their first or second long scenario film. The screenwriters joining the workshop will work individually with mentors, who are a handful of internationally renowned screenwriters.
