Shares
The Realness Institute and Netflix have opened online applications for the Development Executive Traineeship program (DET). Development has often been a misunderstood and undervalued part of the filmmaking process in Africa, thus developing this skill is crucial to initiate more collaboration between African countries and create more authentic depictions of Africa.
The DET program will follow the schedule and structure of the Episodic Lab from 1 June until 31 August 2021. This program is aimed at film professionals with an interest of being trained as story consultants or to gain insight into the story development process, working with writers and directors in the development of their stories.
