The European Writers Club (EWC) ‘s new pilot session, BRIDGING GENERATIONS / connecting audiences aims to foster cross-generational storytelling by encouraging young and older experienced writers to co-create TV series and explore adapting these series into formats like games, podcasts, feature films, and social media.
For Thomas Gammeltoft, CEO & Head of EWC, “In times of challenges and fragmentation globally, we need stories built on shared beliefs, values and dreams. We need stories with relevance and resonance that speak across the echo chambers, we are divided in. We need stories that can unite us across generations and countries in Europe and hopefully make changes for the better. ”
For Bridging Generations, EWC will select 6-8 teams with early-stage TV series concepts. In the selection of teams, EWC will focus on the age gap within the team, the writers’ experience, diversity, cross-generational potential, and broadcaster or producer involvement. Concepts should offer fresh perspectives and aim to impact audiences across generations.
EWC’s goal is to see all selected concepts commissioned for further development after the conclusion of the third camp.
The deadline is 31st December 2024.
