“Now the service is also honoring screenwriters at the Toronto Film Festival as the prizing-giving there got underway Thursday. The Black List and David Cronenberg’s producer Martin Katz teamed up to award Nadeem Siddiqui their 2017 TIFF/Martin Katz Independent Screenwriting Fellowship.

“As part of the fellowship, Siddiqui receives an all-expense paid trip to TIFF, which runs through Sept. 17. Siddiqui’s dark romantic comedy script Slut made the cut on The Black List, whose ranked screenplays have gone on to be produced and earned 50 Oscars and more than $26 billion in box office worldwide.

“Nadeem’s writing is assured, funny and in-your-face sexy. He has written a romp of a romantic comedy, and I’m excited to be able to introduce him to the industry at TIFF,” Katz said Thursday. Katz via his Prospero Pictures shingle has produced Cronenberg films like Spider, A Dangerous Method, Cosmopolis and Maps to the Stars, which earned Julianne Moore the best actress Palme d’Or in Cannes.

“Katz is also chair of the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television. Siddiqui is represented by Woolf + Lapin Agency”

We are very excited to be working with the up and coming, award-winning director Robert Hloz. Robert is Prague-based and this works very well with Woolf+Lapin’s aim on developing talent through its European office.

Everything he has touched has garnered awards and recognition.

Robert is developing his first feature film, Restore Point. It is a futuristic piece set in a post-immigrant Europe.

In 2017, the project was selected for the Hong-Kong Asia Film Forum and Fantasia’s Frontières co-production markets. It also won the Best Project Award at Midpoint Feature Launch in 2016.

Production will be handled by Jan Kallista through Prague’s Film Kolektiv.
