As a starter for MIDPOINT TV Launch, award winning american TV series writer Robin Veith held the masterclass Fundamentals of Writing for Television during the Regional Forum / CineLink Drama at the 22nd Sarajevo Film Festival.
Robin Veith discussed the development of ideas into television series and how the series is broken down into individual episodes. Also, she talked about the ways American television functions. Examples used mostly focused on her award winning work on Mad Men.
CineLink Drama, introduced as an addition to Industry Days at Sarajevo FF, comes as an answer to the need for original quality drama series in Southeast Europe. The MIDPOINT masterclass was aimed to promote co-operation with Sarajevo FF, where the third workshop of MIDPOINT TV Launch will take place.
