Seri­al Eyes #13 in Lon­don – Four Days of Learn­ing, Inspir­a­tion, and Connection

This week, the Seri­al Eyes Class #13 Writers’ Room spent four intens­ive days in Lon­don, using the city as a dynam­ic set­ting for in-depth industry insights and mean­ing­ful alumni exchange. This annu­al vis­it is a long-stand­ing com­pon­ent of the Seri­al Eyes cur­riculum and plays an essen­tial role in pre­par­ing par­ti­cipants for the next stage of their pro­fes­sion­al development.

We extend our sin­cere grat­it­ude to our dis­tin­guished speak­ers, who shared their expert­ise and provided valu­able per­spect­ives on cur­rent devel­op­ments in the industry:

• Adri­an Ban­yard – Devel­op­ment Pro­du­cer, Big Light Productions
• Ben Har­ris – Screenwriter
• Nic­ola Lusuardi – Head of Con­tent, Our Films
• Sarah-Louise Hawkins – Writer
• Richard Mehta – Writer/​Director
• Steve Mat­thews – Joint Head of Scrip­ted, Ban­i­jay Group
• Cyn­thia Okoye – Tal­ent Agent, Curtis Brown
• Jo Strevens – Exec­ut­ive Pro­du­cer, Car­ni­val Films
• Lucy Rawl­in­son – Head of Devel­op­ment, Monu­ment­al Tele­vi­sion Limited

The vis­it also included a ded­ic­ated net­work­ing even­ing, fea­tur­ing con­ver­sa­tions with Seri­al Eyes core tutors Frank Spot­nitz, Sarah Lin­ton, Ben­jamin Har­ris, Sarah-Louise Hawkins, and Nic­ola Lusuardi, joined by a num­ber of Seri­al Eyes alumni. This gath­er­ing provided an oppor­tun­ity for par­ti­cipants to exchange ideas, strengthen pro­fes­sion­al rela­tion­ships, and gain prac­tic­al insights into the col­lab­or­at­ive nature of con­tem­por­ary series development.

We would like to thank every­one who con­trib­uted to the suc­cess of this Lon­don mod­ule, espe­cially the Lon­don Film School, our long-stand­ing host and part­ner. Seri­al Eyes is com­mit­ted to cul­tiv­at­ing last­ing pro­fes­sion­al net­works and sup­port­ing the cre­at­ive growth of its alumni—an invalu­able found­a­tion for the next gen­er­a­tion of lead­ing writers in the inter­na­tion­al tele­vi­sion industry.
