In order to fund and support the development of young professionals in the city of São Paulo’s audiovisual sector, BrLab – in partnership with Spcine, a municipal company promoting the development and sustainability of the audiovisual industry – created a new training space focused on the qualification of professionals. 

The program is based on the assumption that the producer’s role is more than just a set of bureaucratic or administrative tasks; it is also a type of “creative management”, as it involves writing, directing, dramaturgy and artistic skills. A production committed to project development is an indispensable condition for the success of most audiovisual works. 

Aimed at professionals starting their careers, LAB Spcine - BrLab’s introductory activity – as participants will have access and be able to follow the laboratory’s production activities as audit students – will address projects’ professional possibilities in the international market, from the development stage up to distribution. 

The program includes lectures and activities in which leading professionals in the Brazilian and international markets share their experiences based on case studies. Producer Leonardo Mecchi and BrLab Director Rafael Sampaio are responsible for the coordination of the course, with support from Spcine’s International Coordination team.
