From Pitch to Premiere: Inside the Television Creative Process

What does it take to turn an idea into a television series? In this panel session, Vikings and Billy the Kid creator Michael Hirst will trade secrets with contemporary creator Toma De Matteis (Un Si Grand Soleil) about how a show really comes together, from developing ideas, writing scripts and overseeing production - and the compromises and collaborations that are needed to get a series on screen.
They will also be joined by Rola Bauer (The Girlfriend, Shadowplay, Pillars of the Earth), who will offer a Studio Executive and Producer's insight into the creative process, revealing how writers and producers can best work together to ensure the creator's vision holds up in the final cut.
