European Script Meeting (ESM) seeks to facilitate creative partnership of professional screenwriters, film producers and directors through individual meetings to discuss collaboration on new screenplays.

On October 23 – 24, 2018, for the 4th time the meeting will bring together 10-12 selected screenwriters and 10-12 project representatives from all over Europe.
