The dominance of the OTT services in the series market, new commissioning and distribution practices and the widening gap between audiences of linear broadcasters and streaming platforms, have caused significant changes in both production and consumption of TV series. During Let’s Be Series, vol. 2 conference we will discuss all those changes and look closer on what a successful collaboration between producers and TV and digital broadcasters looks like, what are the advantages and challenges of producing with and for streaming platforms and how to create and distribute a high quality series.
The event will consist of presentations, case-studies and panel discussions dedicated to the European series. Invited experts will analyse the market, present available training opportunities and industry events aimed at professionals in the field and talk about the funding opportunities offered by the Creative Europe program and the European Commission. Experienced producers and filmmakers will share their knowledge and a know-how on producing and promoting the series projects.
Let's Be Series vol. 2 is a second instalment of the event dedicated to trends and tendencies in the TV series market, which was held in 2016.
The conference will be held in English and Polish. A simultaneous translation will be provided. Participation in the event is free of charge.
