SeriesLab is the annual programme, aimed at developing innovative and marketable international fiction TV series projects.
The lab stands out for involving all the main playersconnected to TV series production – scriptwriters, producers, distributors, broadcasters and so on – and for offering a close link between scriptwriting process and TV industry.

SeriesLab is addressed to teams of writers and producers (or writers, directors andproducers) from Europe, and also for international teams working on a TV Series project with the potential of European co-production. The programme is open to up to 9 projects and foresees 3 residential workshops taking place over a period of 6 months, along with some online sessions between each module.

SeriesLab Story Editing is a hands-on training for audiovisual professionals who want to work with writers, writer-directors and their producers in the development stage of their fiction TV series projects. The aim of the programme is to provide an insight into the development process of a fiction TV series – focusing on the early concept development stage.

The 3 selected participants will work under the guidance of a story editing tutor with a wide international experience as story consultant on TV series projects.

Besides the theoretical training, each participant joins a specific group, which involves 3 projects, selected from the SeriesLab programme, and is guided by a tutor – who alongside with the story editing tutor will guide the story editor trainees and give feedback on the specific work made with each project.
