INSPIRATIONAL LABS

COLD OPEN

Drama Series Inspirational Lab in partnership with MIDPOINT Institute

Cold Open is designed to build skills among independent producers interested in moving from feature films to fiction series content. Offering practical knowledge connected to the developing, producing and financing of drama series content in Europe, the program will familiarise its participants with the overall landscape and priorities of the industry, compare narrative and concept structures between features and scripted series, and provide hands-on skills in the financing and distribution of scripted series content.

The 10 selected participants will be offered a variety of lectures, group sessions and individual consultations, and will work together with three industry professionals from the European industry: Steve Matthews (HBO EUROPE), Danna Stern and Nebojsa Taraba (Drugi PLAN). More info about the programme and the tutors HERE.
