The film industry is one of the biggest players in the broader entertainment sector and it is considered a cornerstone of this industry.

To be successful in this industry is not just a matter of dreaming, but a matter of passion, talent and hard working. And a matter of education too.

At our Master in International Screenwriting and Production, whose Italian edition has been running since 2000, we have trained young professionals, a relevant number of  which have been highly successful in several areas of this industry and in many countries. 

With the same passion for education - and connection with the industry - we have decided to launch in 2016  a more International program focused on Screenwriting and Production, that has gathered brilliant students from more than twenty  countries, so different as United States and Malaysia, Colombia and France, Russia and Lebanon, Spain and China.

This Program is not only addressed to graduates in Film, Communication or Media Studies, but it’s particularly suited to graduates in Literature, Philosophy, Foreign Languages, as well as Law, Business and other related schools.

We believe that in the show business (as in any other business) good ideas are important. But, like Ed Catmull, the visionary head of Pixar Animation Studios, we also believe that ideas are not enough: people --well trained, able to think, to evaluate, to choose and to create-- are even more important for success.

And a product of success, in the entertainment industry, can define who we are, because it defines what we love.

And those who can move the human heart can change the world.

Three months before the end of classes, participants in the MISP will choose one of the two following career tracks: screenwriting or production, and invest their time after the end of the classes on their final project or on their internship.
 

MISP students who choose the screenwriting career will present a script for a feature film or a TV pilot, which can be either an original idea or an adaptation. This script can be written in English, Italian, French or Spanish.
MISP students who will choose the production track will undertake an internship on a film/TV series shooting (or also, if possible, within an established production or distribution company, a TV network or an advertising agency).
 

For foreign students who do not speak Italian, it can be difficult/impossible to begin an internship for the production track in Italy: in this case either they have to find and internship in their own country or they have to choose the writing track, and deliver a script as their final work.
 

For a good number of the students who will choose the screenwriting path, at the end of their final projects there will also be the possibility of doing an internship in some production company or network or writers room. This internship cannot be guaranteed in advance for everyone, as it will always depend on the acceptance of the candidate by the employer.
