TV Launch / Series Development

TV Launch is residential “idea-to-market” training program for drama series developed by emerging professionals coming from the Central and Eastern European region.

The program accepts both limited or ongoing long form series. 

The 9 selected projects go through an intensive 3-module program and are built from the “bottom-up”: the training focuses on defining the series concept and theme, completing the pilot, creating season arc, season outlines, pitching documents and a financing strategy. 

The projects will be showcased and pitched within the Season Finale platform in Tallinn, Estonia, within Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event. 

The best series project receives the HBO Europe Award of 5.000 USD.

Workshop 1/ the Czech Republic: May 2021
Workshop 2/ TBA: summer 2021
Workshop 3/ Tallinn, Estonia (within Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event): end of November 2021 

The program schedule and the form of the organization inevitably depend on the development of the coronavirus pandemic situation.

The training also includes online consultations with tutors in between the residential workshops.
