Marge Liiske, Head of Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event, says: We are thrilled that MIDPOINT, one of the leading training organizations in Europe, is bringing the finale of their TV Launch programme to Tallinn. As film and TV production and content is ever converging, it makes sense for classical film and co-production markets to also support the development and production of series." 

Katarina Tomkova, TV Launch program coordinator adds: "TV Launch is happy to extent its partners to another of its primary territories of focus, and to announce a collaboration with the established industry event of Baltic Event based in Tallinn, Estonia, which with great results annually brings together the Baltic and European industry."
