Story MillThe Story Mill is open to every one. You are free to participate in it even if you didn't join the Story Pipe. If you want feedback about your script between the festivals you can register yourself to small groups that work on the web and locally around Lapland. The basis of the system is the Story Mill. There are regular checkpoints during the year for the development of the script. The checkpoints are held during the Lappish film festivals. In October in Rovaniemi at the Arktista Vimmaa- festival, in January in Inari at the Skábmagovat- filmfestival and in June at the Midnight Sun film festival the professionals of the film industry give personal feedback to those who send their texts to Lapin Lisä. Arktista Vimmaa- festival 27.10 - 1.11.2006 For the previous personal feedback round during the Skábmagovat 2007- event the film ideas were sent to the Story Mill environment at the latest 19 December 2006. The Story Mill also organizes in-service training of the film projects. Comparable feedback in small groups — Story Mill — virtual environment as a support toolStory Mill works as a virtual workplace for film makers. In Story Mill Lappish scriptwriters and producers give and receive feedback on scripts via internet conference tools. In these small groups the participants have an opportunity to form a network among themselves and to develop their skills by peer-to-peer networking using the web environments (Moodle/ LearnLinc) of Kemi-Tornio University of Applied Sciences. The idea is to form two small groups (documentary and fiction) that both have their own tutors. The tutors look after and support the development of the projects in the long run throughout the operation period and they also lead the small groups. The tutor of the fiction group is Jukka Asikainen and the tutor of the documentary group is Jouni Hiltunen. You can join in the action by evaluating other participants, asking them for feedback on your own script or getting feedback only from the tutor. You can discuss scripts either in private or in groups on the web. You can also collect script writing and learning materials on the web. With the help of the LearnLinc -virtual classroom it is even possible to participate in real-time education organized by the tutor with desired themes to support the development of the projects. The tutors take part in the small group meetings via LearnLinc between the festivals and locally during the festivals. The participants of each small group meet each other between the festivals either face to face or on the web depending on their own initiative. Lapin Lisä supports small group meetings by arranging (virtual) meeting rooms and by giving information.
