The lab unfolds through intensive writers’ rooms,
which dissect each TV project from premise to season arc & multi-season potential focusing on global development and effective placement of the project in the international market.
The lab is led by active TV writers and/or writer-producers who offer hands-on knowledge and relevant experience. Furthermore the lab includes masterclasses by international TV professionals making participants aware of the complexity of the task while offering applicable insights to effectively complete it.
