Six projects of TV series, three projects of web series and two development executive participants, altogether 22 participants, are meeting again after the first workshop (November 2018) and a break full of intensive work.
Katarina Tomkova, TV Launch program coordinator, talks about the content of the second workshop: „After working on their series concepts, and outlining their pilot episodes or actually writing the pilots, the participants return back to Workshop 2 to not only further develop their series arcs and continue working on their scripts, but also to acquire skills of producing, financing, distributing their series and learning to place them on the international television industry map.”
After the second workshop, the participants will finally meet at the Sarajevo Film Festival during the CineLink Drama market, August 16 - 23, 2019 with the Season Finale – the project showcase.
