Step into the producer’s mindset with rising TV drama producer Kayley Loveridge and additional guests (still to be confirmed) as they pull back the curtain on how scripts really make it from submission to screen. Drawing from their experiences shepherding drama projects through development hell to broadcast success, our panelists offer candid insights into what catches a producer’s eye – and what makes them stop reading.
Beyond the usual “write what you know” platitudes, this session dives into the practical realities of contemporary drama production. What makes a script marketable in today’s landscape? How do budget considerations shape creative decisions? When should writers stick to their guns, and when should they embrace notes? Through real-world examples and war stories from the trenches, you’ll gain invaluable perspective on viewing your work through a producer’s lens.
This is your chance to understand the view from the other side of the desk – and learn how to position your projects for success.
