Dreamago expands participation in 2010 Topanga Film Festival
Every year, Dreamago, an international non-profit organization founded in France and dedicated to assisting writers and writer/directors to bring their visions to fruition, selects 10 writers to participate at their annual writers’ workshop held at Chateau Mercier in the Swiss Alps. The organization promotes the vision that if a story is well told, it can transcend cultural context and become universal.
Today, Dreamago co-founder, Soula Saad, a director/producer and Topanga resident, confirmed her organization’s commitment to play an expanded role in the 2010 Topanga Film Festival. In addition to co-creating a day of international networking, cultural exchange, creative speed dating, music, screenings and panels. It will also participate in the selection and making of a screenwriting award during the festival.
Dreamago and Topanga Film Festival co-founder Urs Baur have committed to a weekly powwow starting this week, and throughout the next several months leading to the festival to meld resources and co-create the deepest reaching event possible.
In addition to supporting the Topanga Film Festival, Dreamago has also participated with the American Film Institute and has worked with writers Stephen Frears, Alain Corneau, Pete Lacaba, Jorge Perugorria and Guillermo Arriaga, among others.
