EUROSCRIPT WRITER EOIN ROGERS WINS FUNDING
Euroscript writer Eoin Rogers has won development funding from the Irish Film Board via the Jameson International Film Festival 'Untitled' Pitching Competition for his family animation, 'The Cloud Giant'. This success, Rogers says, came after "using suggestions from the Euroscript 'Exciting Treatments' course to improve the treatment." He goes on, "There are already requests for the script (one pitch that included a sad ending made a producer cry!)."
