Moonstone International Screen Labs is an advanced development programme for experienced writers and directors, who are working on feature film projects for an international audience. Moonstone runs three Labs per year: one Lab for directors and two Labs for screenwriters.

Moonstone International was founded in 1997 in consultation with the Sundance Institute, the organisation created by Robert Redford in North America, to support and develop the work of independent screenwriters and directors of vision. Chair of Moonstone’s Artistic Advisory Panel is Michael Caine.

Moonstone appointed French film producer Jean-Luc Ormičres as Artistic Director in July 2002. Jean-Luc succeeds Moonstone’s founding Artistic Director, the distinguished writer-producer John McGrath, who died in January 2002.
