In all labs (Feature film, Series, Doc) there is a position of a story editor trainee in every writers’ room.
These are industry professionals without a project, who wish to develop their skills in a practical environment.
Trainees are assigned the role of “assistant trainer” and act effectively
as co-leaders of the writers’ rooms, honing their skills under
the guidance of senior trainers.
