Everybody watches it, everybody talks about it – but what’s it like to write and make? This is for anybody passionate about television whether it be recent local drama series, Nordic noir, or current global streaming sensations. Have you ever wondered how ideas make it to screen? What it is that makes an idea television and not a novel, but then why do so many novels become television? Do you wonder what a writers’ room is? How it works? This is your chance to ask all these questions.
Join us for this inaugural and intimate experience with writer-creator Fiona Seres (currently in development at HBO working with Tony McNamara on “The Great’) and multi-award winning creator and producer Imogen Banks, who will take you through the curious, creative, frustrating and exhilarating process of television making. Darren Dale, Managing Director of Blackfella Films, will be making a special guest appearance for the sessions on Day Two.
Guillaume Brahimi, celebrated and awarded chef, will offer an exclusive cooking lesson and a curated dinner paired with premium wines.
Guests will need to provide their own transportation – one night’s accommodation included at Berida Hotel, Bowral.
Limited to 8 Guests.
