TFL Next consists of carefully crafted workshops to help filmmakers move forward with their projects. This is a unique opportunity to enhance, share and test ideas with peers and high-level tutors from all over the world.
The development of TV Series requires a mix of creativity and a genuine sense of team spirit between writers, story editors and other stakeholders such as producers and broadcasters. The aim of the workshop is to offer international professionals the tools necessary to develop their own original and ambitious TV Series projects.
16 projects will be selected for each workshop and divided into 4 groups, to work on their concept alongside peers and a tutor with substantial international experience as a script consultant.
The workshop will be divided into 2 development sessions. It will start with a first, 5 day-long session where participants discuss their work in group sessions and one-on-one meetings with their tutors. Then, participants will have 1 week to rework their materials which will be discussed in a second 2 day-long session.
After the development training, all the participants will meet again in a virtual pitching session, where tutors and industry guests will give feedback on their projects. The aim of this session is to test the first reactions to the project and receive additional inputs and suggestions from professionals.
Thanks to the TFL Next's global experience, the participants will have the chance to develop a strong international network: on top of the script sessions and meeting with industry representatives, participants will gather during special online events aimed at exchanging skills and finding productive collaborations.
The online workshop is open to international professional scriptwriters, directors and producers. The registrations can be submitted individually or in team (maximum 2 participants per team) and must be linked to a TV Series project at early development stage, which will be developed during the workshop.
The workshop is concept-based; which means that participants will exclusively work on the concept of the TV series project (the tutors will not be required to read a full script). In case of projects based on novels, short stories or other literary works, applicants must present a secured option for the work they wish to adapt.
The working language of all workshops, meetings and events is English; thus, a good knowledge of English is essential in order to participate.
