The Latin American Screenwriting Development Group #2 – Marieta is an international script development lab organized in Brazil and held entirely online. The call is open to screenwriters from Latin America, either by nationality or by having resided in the region for at least five years.
The program focuses on the development of feature-length projects, both fiction and documentary, at different stages of the writing process. It operates as a creative laboratory, offering weekly sessions aimed at strengthening the screenplay and supporting each author’s creative journey.
Projects must be submitted in Spanish, which is the main working language of the group, although advanced portuñol is accepted. The initiative is not intended for completed films or market-oriented activities, but rather for in-depth development processes.
