✨Director of our film “Hold Me Closer,” Irma Pužauskaitė, script writer Birutė Kapustinskaitė , and producer Rūta Petronytė , had the exciting opportunity to attend the “EKRAN + “ workshop this week.
✨ Director Irma Pužauskaitė shares her experience with the first session:
Being part of Ekran+ has really changed the game for our film. It's where characters become real people. We dig deep, asking lots of questions to understand what our story is really about and who these characters truly are. Our script transforms into a solid roadmap for our movie with each session. Ekran+ isn't just about writing a script; it's about being creative and making a movie that speaks to everyone.
