Go behind the scenes of modern television storytelling in this in-depth session with the creative team behind the Ch5 show ‘The Fued’. This session brings together writer Aschlin Ditta, director Andy De Emmony, and moderator/producer Sarah Winstanley for a practical, no-nonsense exploration of how a TV show is truly made, today.
More than a case study, it’s a deep dive into the full creative pipeline, from initial concept through writing, production, and direction, with a sharp focus on how scripts evolve into finished scenes and shows.
Attendees will examine real pages from The Feud alongside the final on-screen results, getting insight into the decisions, compromises, and creative solutions that shape broadcast television.
With budgets tightening and expectations rising, the session will explore how writers can adapt their work, crafting compelling, emotionally resonant stories that are also production-aware. Learn how to write with intention: maximizing drama, character, and visual impact while working within the realities of modern broadcasting constraints. Discover the practical techniques and storytelling strategies that allow TV makers to achieve ambitious results on limited resources.
Expect real examples, candid discussion, and actionable insights you can apply immediately to your own work.
