My two workshops:
Boot Camp: Screenwriter’s Marketing Package

Description

Congratulations! You have completed your screenplay (or are close to finishing it). You’re gearing up for the submission process—but wait! Your screenplay may be brilliant, but you still need to know how to get it past the film industry’s gatekeepers. This means preparing a winning query letter, synopsis and one-sheet. In this crucially important session, you will learn the essentials tools for writing a query letter, synopsis, and one-sheet, how to successfully present your screenwriting marketing package, do’s and don’ts to marketing your screenplay and yourself, and how to follow up with the industry pros after submitting your marketing package.

Writing Successful Query Letters, Synopses and Loglines

Description
Grabbing a film executive’s attention is the key to unlocking the movie industry’s door. Getting your script read by agents, producers, talent, and so on, requires not only writing a brilliant screenplay, it necessitates knowing how to professionally represent yourself and your work. This workshop will offer the essential tools on crafting winning queries, synopses, and loglines.

New Piece with Annebarbe Kau, text by Susan Kouguell

Below is the German to English translation:

Annebarbe Kau their acoustic intervention

The Lent is – also – a time of longing and hope of spring. Midst of the former abbey district in Bonn-Vilich lies a small cemetery. A stone wall includes the cemetery and gives it its round shape. You follow a path that makes possible a full tour, a rarity. This way is my starting point for a sound collage that visitors can indulge. The path leads him around by the church on the school grounds at the cemetery so that it is covered in its entirety. The interplay of walking, seeing and hearing is the sensual theme of this work. It is set in motion by a collage of text and sounds that can be received via headphones – but the visitors must go to the Wall Trail, since only at selected points something is sent.

sounds from another (year) and time of other landscapes can accommodate you.

I want to see the visitor with the ears.

stooping us and look through our own legs to the world. She stands head, everything is wrong.
