Respiro Filmes Creative Lab
The Creative Hub was born with an exciting mission here at Respiro Filmes! We’re fully committed to valuing and compensating the work of screenwriters, as well as giving more time and care to this crucial stage of the audiovisual process — because we believe a well-crafted script makes all the difference.
The first edition of the project welcomed four short film stories. Over the course of two months, these narratives came to life through script consulting, classes with special guests, and masterclasses. And the result? Incredible screenplays! Check out the fantastic loglines that emerged from these sessions:
