Following the success of last year’s workshop, Screen Australia is again pleased to present The High Concept Movie Workshop, a development initiative designed for selected screenwriters who are committed to writing a high concept movie.
Normally the domain of Hollywood, a high concept movie has a clear, identifiable hook and sits within a recognisable genre. Its story concept alone can pull audiences into the theatre with the expectation of a powerfully emotional and entertaining experience. Popular examples include Jaws, Speed and The Hangover.
