Naman Ramachandran Circle, the training program for female-identifying filmmakers, is taking a significant step forward after five successful years of its Women Doc Accelerator initiative. The organization is now venturing into the realm of fiction films with the launch of its inaugural program, Circle Fiction Orbit. This intensive one-week workshop aims to support directors who are developing their second or third fiction feature films and is scheduled to take place at the end of 2023 in Montenegro. The initiative was revealed at the Cannes Film Market on Thursday. The Fiction Orbit program will bring together a curated group of six to eight filmmakers, who will have the opportunity to work closely with leading experts in the industry. The workshop is designed to help participants identify their specific needs during the development of their projects. It will provide feedback on various aspects, including script development, legal considerations, production strategies, and even psychological support to assist them throughout their creative journey.
