MIDPOINT Writers' Room: Call for applications is open!

    Learn to work in a professional writers' room!

    ✺ “MIDPOINT Writers’ Room is a rare professional experience not easily acquired. It is run on a very high level, led by leading professionals in the business. Essential for anyone looking to write a TV series.” 
    Sarit Zadok / France-Israel, MIDPOINT Writers’ Room 2020 alumna

    As one of MIDPOINT Institute’s series-oriented training programs, Writers’ Room is targeting writers and creative producers without a particular project in development whose ambition is to start their careers as writers' room members or showrunners.

    The program is designed not only to train specialized writing skills but also to offer practical knowledge about the organization of a writers’ room, stimulate the creative process and spark new ideas.

    The one-off event spanning over 5 days will provide selected participants with lectures, plotting and writing training, and simulation of a writers' room.
