Producer Workshop
We see the future of a strong European showrunner model as a close collaboration between writers and producers. However, the growing demand for solutions to the complex challenges of collaborative development are strong creative voices, but also specific skills in writers and producers, including financing, co-producing and packaging internationally competitive television series. We aim at supporting this new generation of European series professionals through a strong professional network. Therefore we have designed a compact, intensive workshop for producers of international series formats.

The ´25 Edition
In May 2025, we held our first producer workshop, welcoming up-and-coming and established producers from Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and France.
During these two and a half days full of input and inspiration, we listened to keynotes and presentations by European showrunners such as Frank Spotnitz (UK) and Jeppe Gierwig Gram (Denmark), met internationally experienced producers such as Danna Stern and Klaus Zimmermann (Dynamic Television, F/US), and received valuable input from specialists such as Marike Muselaers (financing expert) and Linda Green (leadership coach).
