Script to Screen is a charitable organisation dedicated to developing the craft and culture of storytelling for the screen in Aotearoa. Our mandate is to support New Zealand screen practitioners to tell exceptional stories that reflect who we are.

We have an extensive range of Programmes, events and opportunities for filmmakers, ranging from grassroots development programmes for new and emerging filmmakers through to our high-end professional development initiatives.

Script to Screen helps to build the filmmaking community through our regional storytelling workshops, evening TALKS and our annual two-day conference the Big Screen Symposium.

Script to Screen’s Big Screen Symposium is an annual two-day conference that brings the filmmakers of Aotearoa (New Zealand) together for debate, discussion, information and inspiration. The Big Screen Symposium presents a big picture of the world of film and television, a great networking opportunity, and a wealth of insights and information on the pertinent issues facing filmmakers today. Delegates are immersed in two intensive days of conversations, masterclasses, workshops, panel discussions and case studies with a stellar line-up of local and international filmmaker speakers.

This event has become a highlight on the industry calendar. For more information visit www.bigscreensymposium.com.
