Development angels
A new approach for Film Industry Professionals
to boost talents in development
LIM²2026
Training Programme for Development angels
Call for entries is open.
Deadline Sunday 26 February 2026, noon CET.
LIM elaborated a training programme for film industry professionals — creative producers, story-editors, development executives, commissioning editors… — wanting to strengthen their ability to follow the development phase of feature film projects.
LIM is welcoming applicants from (and/or living in) the European Union, Eurimages Countries and non-EU countries participating in the Creative Europe Programme, as well as the United Kingdom*.
One of LIM’s battle points is the need to collaborate at a European level to open up new horizons for humanism in a troubled world. Through our work with researchers in cognitive sciences, anthropology and other fields adjacent to storytelling in the StoryTANK, we have developed tools to better understand the creative process, but also guide authors through the different phases of project & script development.
Leaning on our perceptions and our sensitive reception of stories and films, we try to demystify the act of writing in itself in order to reinvest the moment when a story takes shape finding its own emotions, architecture and singularity.
During that phase of the development process, we make extensive use of the wide range of possibilities offered by oral expression, employing it as a highly flexible digging tool for story development.
Our goal is also to help Development angels use limitations as a positive and creative tool to foster an exciting evelopment process, and in the meantime help the author shape and strengthen both the story and its meaning.
WORKSHOP
