Does a limited budget necessarily put a brake on filmmakers\u2019 creativity? Or does it push the power of their storytelling towards something new, something edgy and completely different than all their previous work? A limited budget can represent the needed push for the writer\u2019s mind and lead him to amazing stories, scripts and films.<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>And this is exactly what LIM aims to achieve.<\/strong><\/p>\n

LIM \u2013 Less is More, the European platform for project development of limited budget feature films<\/b>\u00a0will push forward a new generation of gifted filmmakers who want to work through the prism of limited budget feature film production.<\/p>\n

LIM\u2019s successful launch this year shows that there is a growing need for a new approach towards limited budget films: 290 applications coming from 59 nationalities out of which\u00a016 projects (all first feature films) and 4 emerging European producers<\/b>\u00a0were selected.\u00a0The aim of LIM is to help writers and writer-directors to fully integrate the cost constraint from the beginning of the script development process. The program is aimed at helping feature projects whose final costs will be between 100.000 and 500.000 EUR.<\/p>\n

The LIM Jury composed of 6 members from 6 countries around Europe – Massimiliano Nardulli (Head of Selection, Italy), Antoine Le Bos (Artistic Director, France), Oana Rasuceanu (Control N \/ Romania), Siebe Dumon (VAF \/ Belgium), Natalia Woda (KBF \/ Poland) and Vassili Silovic (LIM Project Manager, Slovenia) – selected the finalists out of 45 projects and 8 producers shortlisted.<\/p>\n

LIM \u2013 Less is More is structured around 3 one-week workshops in residency in small villages in three different parts of Europe:\u00a0Workshop 1 in Belgium<\/b>\u00a0(March, 5 \u2013 11),\u00a0Workshop 2 in Transylvania \/ Romania<\/b>\u00a0(June, 5 \u2013 13) and\u00a0Workshop 3 in Brittany \/ France<\/b>\u00a0(October, 1 \u2013 8). The development work for LIM\u2019s first edition will be supervised by 4 very experienced script-consultants (all of them being writers in activity):\u00a0Leonardo Stagliano<\/b>\u00a0(Italy),\u00a0Pierre Hogdson<\/b>\u00a0(UK\/France),\u00a0Marcel Beaulieu<\/b>\u00a0(Canada) and\u00a0Antoine Le Bos<\/b>\u00a0(France). The team of tutors will be completed, as well, by low to micro budget specialists.<\/p>\n

LIM\u2019s goal is also to generate the creation of a European network of professionals working around limited and very limited budget fiction feature film, thus triggering both co-productions, new funding, distribution and broadcasting opportunities.<\/p>\n

Therefore, LIM will organize a major event during Transilvania International Film Festival (TIFF), in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. This event will allow all selected participants to present their projects to European producers and film-professionals.<\/p>\n
