Showrunner: TV Drama Series

Showrunner:
TV Comedy Series
Fall 2013
Los Angeles, USA
Showrunner focuses
particularly on the role of the US writer/producer and the collaborative
process of US series. The show’s writing and production team, as well as the Network’s
role, look to the Showrunner as their overall direction finder for the show’s
vision, steering the characters and maintaining the quality of storylines over
returning seasons. The majority of the week’s schedule will be spent meeting
working Showrunners and observing the contrasting styles they use with their
writing and production teams at current shows (production schedules permitting)
in the Los Angeles area. Showrunner operates in both the comedy and the drama
genres.

Selected meetings will also take place with writer/producers,
network, studio, agency and new media contacts, supporting the Showrunner’s
role, to discuss aspects of show conception, development and maintenance. The
number of meetings in the Showrunner schedule may therefore appear less than
our TV Exchange schedule but you should anticipate more time being spent at
particular shows, returning during the course of the week to see the
progression of particular production schedules.
Showrunner will also focus on discussing the essential elements
of development, pitching strategies or character and story structure in
relation to your own process or scripted projects. Workshop sessions with
experienced US professional/s may require some advance preparation of materials
so please be sure to discuss with us at the time of your registration.
