We believe in creating better films by bringing screenwriters, actors and directors together
Aspö Writing Lab is dedicated to the craft and passion of writing and storytelling. In our summer camp (one week) and winterlabs (1-2 days) we combine script coaching, lectures and screen-play analysis with live-performance of writers scenes by actors and director. We’re joined IRL and via Skype by some of the best brains in the industry, under informal settings.
Aspö Writing Lab is run in collaboration with writing coach and producer Marilyn Horowitz (New York), aiming to support writers - professional and new beginners - in the craft and passion of screenwriting and storytelling.
Aspö Writing Lab is proud and honored also to be inspired by and a spinoff from ’Manus Labb’ by Zanyar Adami crossing bridges between writers, actors and directors, when writers key-scenes are performed live and filmed.
Aspö Writing Lab is excited, to combine the live-performance of writers scenes by actors and director, with script coaching, lectures and screen-play analysis, joined IRL and via Skype by some of the best brains in the industry, under informal settings.
