Apply now for May/June 2025 retreats!
***
Each year Nostos Screenwriting Retreat offers four two-week screenwriting workshops taking place in the Tuscan Countryside. Applications are now open for our Spring 2025 retreats.
The retreat gives independent filmmakers from around the world the opportunity to work intensively on their feature-length narrative scripts or their TV Pilots. It consists of a residential workshop and participants also receive individual feedback. The lab is facilitated by a professional in the field with workshop sessions and one-on-one meetings. Aside from the workshops and the one-on-one sessions, participants have plenty of time for writing on their own. The delicious meals that are provided by our cook are an occasion for the participants to gather and share some social time. All in all, the time at Nostos is a wonderful opportunity to work intensively on one's script while connecting and receiving feedback from other filmmakers in a very inspiring environment.
In total, 8 - 12 writers are selected per retreat. The selected writers are invited to join the next available retreat, where accommodation (single or double rooms) in the Tuscan countryside, all daily meals, and of course the two weeks of group workshops and one-to-one mentorship is provided.
