SeriesLab is open to professional European* scriptwriters, directors and producers who are nationals of countries that are part of Creative Europe – MEDIA Sub-programme of the European Union. Each participant can submit only 1 project, individually or in a team of two members; in exceptional cases, a third participant (co-writer or attached producer) can join by paying an additional fee.
The programme is open to both original concepts and adaptations; in this second case the team must have secured the rights for the book or other work on which the series is based.
Candidates have to send a concept for a short or long TV series. Concepts for documentaries projects will not be accepted.
It is highly recommended to present the project together with a production company. The attached producer must join the workshops together with the team of authors.
Applicants must confirm their availability for the workshops and the final presentation.
The working language of all SeriesLab workshops, meetings and events is English; thus, a good knowledge of English is essential in order to participate.
