Nine projects selected for SeriesLab 2018 unveiled

The TorinoFilmLab has unveiled the selection for the second edition of SeriesLab. The programme will guide international scriptwriters and directors in the development of innovative TV series projects that have never been presented anywhere else before. 

SeriesLab will follow the process of creating the series concept throughout an intensive five-month course (from December 2017 to May 2018), with three workshops in the Netherlands, Sweden and France, which will culminate in a final presentation of the content at the Series Mania Lille Hauts-de-France Coproduction Forum in front of an audience of international TV executives taking part in the festival.
