HARNESSING THE GREENLIGHT PROCESS

On behalf of Compton School and WIFT VIC, thank you to everyone who attended
The Greenlight Process Workshop. Dr David Court and Andrea Buck were inspired
by your passion and enthusiasm for filmmaking, and your commitment to harnessing
the strategic elements of the pitch.

This was a pilot workshop, the first of a continuing series that focuses on the
selection and development of story ideas … so stay tuned for more to come!

Member feedback:
“I have attended multiple events organised by WIFT in recent times and I feel that
the space WIFT has created at each allowed everyone to be very open and

supportive of each other which I think is extremely valuable in working in this industry
which can sometimes be a little daunting.”

“I found it really empowering and impactful to have David talk about tangible markers
for creativity and stories that are worth pursuing … Any opportunity I have to focus on
my creative projects is incredibly motivating and productive.”
