Inspiring speakers from 12 countries shared visions and working methods with 500 delegates at Helsinki Script 2018

The theme “spirituality” was strongly present at the main event, from Serbian-Swedish Tatjana Samopjan’s  lecture on writing beyond entertainment to Danish creator Adam Price’s and producer Camilla Hammerich’s sessions on working with the spiritual themes of Ride Upon the Storm (click title to see series if you are in Finnish territory). Israeli creator Keren Margalit showed how subject knowledge and dialogue focus bring depth. British writer Tony Grisoni built bridges between the real and the unreal, Finnish producer Ronja Salmi between social media and series and game director Kalle Kaivola between games and series writing. Four creators, Swedish Lars Lundström, Danish Jeppe Gjervig Gram, Italian Barbara Petronio and Finnish Kirsi Porkka discussed writing high end suspense. Barbara also analyzed the Italian way of going global with producer Riccardo Russo and commissioner Michele Zatta. “Authenticity” was a keyword when German writer Alexander Lindh and Norwegian producer Marianne Furevold discussed Skam remakes. Managers of five European series forums reasoned for the diversity of events and for pitching all over Europe. Helsinki Script’s 6.9. workshops studied international series from  both creative and financial angles.
