Faculty 

The DFFB’s rich net­work of industry con­tacts has enabled SERI­AL EYES to secure highly respec­ted scriptwriters, pro­du­cers, dir­ect­ors and com­mis­sion­ing edit­ors as instruct­ors and guest lec­tur­ers. Top US and European showrun­ners are invited to lead work­shops draw­ing on their par­tic­u­lar expert­ise, while mas­ter classes and hands-on mod­ules con­cen­trate on the scriptwrit­ing pro­cess and oth­er vital aspects of seri­al pro­duc­tion – always with a prac­tic­al focus.
