Pionieer­ing in spring-sum­mer 2023, this work­shop was ded­ic­ated to the digit­al short form series. Thanks to this format short­ness, the work­shop taught seri­al storytelling and the tech­nique of col­lab­or­at­ive writ­ing in the Writers’ Room in a con­densed form. In close col­lab­or­a­tion with the SERI­AL EYES train­ing pro­gram and under the guid­ance of Corinne Le Hong as well as exper­i­enced screen­writers from the Anglo-Amer­ic­an and Ger­man-speak­ing world, the selec­ted authors developed a joint series out­line and the scripts for a digit­al series.
