What former Participants say
- Working with Criminal Minds' Simon Mirren was a mind-blowing experience. Also, I met a producer at the Lab who asked me to work on a script. We just sold the script to a network. This workshop was worth every minute!
Richard Kropf, Co-Creator YOU ARE WANTED, Co-Creator / Writer 4 BLOCKS, Germany - The TV Lab was really inspiring and excellent for networking! Great to have both creative and business perspectives as well as the European and the US TV markets reflected. I am truly happy that I had prioritized my time to be a part of it.
Charlotte Pedersen, Co-Producer THE HUNT, Zentropa Productions, Denmark - To be able to communicate with people, share experience, learn so much about what makes great TV and expand your creative horizons – truly amazing! Both theory and practice met in this programme and it was simply flawless!
Hristo Rayanov, Screenwriter, Dream Team Films, Bulgaria - I have been to quite a few educational events through the years, but the TV Lab was outstanding in every sense of the word and in every aspect of its content.
Janne Wallin, Writer, former Head of Drama at TV4, Sweden - Given the reputation of EU TV Series Lab, my expectations were set very high prior to the actual thing. But, after the whole experience I can truly say that the lab exceeded my expectations. I got all that I was looking for and much more! Amazing!
