The Intensive Screenwriting Workshop is an initiative founded by Cinephilia Productions in September 2012. The workshop provides deep insights on the craft of screenwriting. Participants' screenplays that get developed during the workshop get the opportunity to be funded and produced by Cinephilia Productions based on a submission process.
Cinephilia Productions has successfully wrapped up the workshops in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in early March and the next workshop venue is the Arraya Complex in Kuwait, still with award-winning writer/ Director Darine Hotait.
