From Script to PreProduction
Emerging or unverified festival
From Script to PreProduction (FS2P) is an online development lab in the United States focused on helping women filmmakers turn scripts into finance-ready projects rather than a traditional screening festival. It is notable for guiding participants through key pre-production materials such as pitches, lookbooks, budgets, and business plans, and for connecting them with industry guests and a producers panel. The program is significant as a project-development platform for narrative feature scripts and series pilots, with an emphasis on preparing filmmakers to attract partners and financing.
