Moonstone have announced a presence at Cannes this year from the 14^th to the 18^th of May and are inviting those with scripts close to completion to pay them a visit.

A Moonstone spokesmans says, "If you have a project which you feel would benefit from Moonstone we would be happy to meet with you to discuss what we do. We can be contacted through the Scottish Screen stand or prior to the Festival at the Moonstone office."

If you would like to take advantage of the experience and skills of established and respected writers, you may be interested in the Moonstone International Labs for screenwriters and directors.

The Labs offer constructive advice in an intimate environment where the writer or filmmaker can experiment and take risks with their ideas. Your project will get one-on-one attention, as well as ample opportunities for group discussions.

Oscar-nominated writers such as Callie Khouri (Thelma & Louise), Walter Bernstein (The Front), Jeremy Pikser (Bulworth), and Trevor Griffiths (Reds) have participated in the Screenwriters' Labs. The Filmmakers' Labs have benefited from the presence of directors such as Michael Hoffman (Midsummer Night's Dream), Michael Ritchie (The Candidate), John Irvin (Hamburger Hill), Michael Lehmann (The Truth About Cats and Dogs) and Joan Darling (M*A*S*H).

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.
