SeriesLab Story Editing pruža praktičnu obuku za audiovizualne profesionalce koji žele raditi s piscima, piscima-redateljima i njihovim producentima u fazi razvoja igranih TV serija. Cilj programa jest ponuditi uvid u proces razvoja igrane serije, s naglaskom na najraniju fazu oblikovanja koncepta.
Tri odabrana sudionika radit će pod vodstvom iskusnog mentora za uređivanje scenarija te će djelovati kao savjetnici na projektima TV serija. Uz teorijsku podlogu, svaki će se sudionik pridružiti jednoj od grupa u kojoj se nalaze tri projekta odabrana u okviru programa SeriesLab. Grupom upravlja mentor koji će, zajedno s mentorom za uređivanje scenarija, voditi pripravnike i davati povratne informacije o razvoju svakog pojedinog projekta.
Pripravnici za urednike scenarija tako imaju priliku učiti o procesu razvoja serije u ranoj fazi, razvijati vještine analize koncepta i scenarija, razumjeti principe serijalnosti, procjenjivati razvoj projekta i savjetovati autore prilikom pisanja. Uz to, steći će praktičan uvid u rad s piscima – od početne ideje do razrađenog dokumenta prodajnog koncepta i prvog nacrta pilot epizode – pomažući im definirati identitet, serijski motor i ton njihove serije te potičući dosljedno pisanje pilot scenarija.
Sudionici će raditi na projektima u ranoj fazi razvoja kroz grupne sesije i individualne konzultacije. Također će sudjelovati na sastancima s mentorom SeriesLaba, raspravljajući o specifičnim potrebama projekata, te na sesijama posvećenima općim aspektima razvoja serija sa svojim mentorom za uređivanje scenarija. Program uključuje i nekoliko masterclassova o temama povezanim s pripovijedanjem.
Tijekom programa, pripravnici će imati mogućnost primijeniti naučene vještine vodeći razvojne sesije za projekte koji su im dodijeljeni. Dobit će i smjernice o izgradnji profesionalne karijere urednika scenarija za igrane TV serije.
Program se održava od lipnja do studenoga 2026. te uključuje tri jednotjedne rezidencijalne radionice (lipanj, rujan i studeni), uz nekoliko online sesija između radionica.
SeriesLab Story Editing završava prezentacijom tijekom industrijskog događaja, gdje se polaznici imaju priliku povezati s međunarodnim profesionalcima iz filmske i TV industrije te ostvariti dodatnu vidljivost zahvaljujući TFL katalogu.
Program je otvoren filmskim i televizijskim profesionalcima – savjetnicima za scenarije, producentima, čitateljima scenarija za produkcijske kuće ili filmske fondove, razvojnim urednicima i urednicima priča koji rade za emitere ili produkcijske kuće – iz cijelog svijeta.
Prijaviti se mogu i profesionalci bez prethodnog iskustva u radu na TV serijskim projektima, ali zainteresirani za učenje rada na serijaliziranim fikcionalnim narativima, kao i TV stručnjaci koji su dosad radili isključivo na nefikcionalnim formatima (dokumentarci, reality, natjecateljski formati, sapunice itd.).
Prije prijave, kandidati moraju kreirati račun na TFL Visitor stranici te priložiti:
• ažurirani životopis s relevantnim profesionalnim iskustvom
• motivacijsko pismo u kojem objašnjavaju zašto žele raditi kao razvojni stručnjaci u TV industriji
• jednominutnu video-prezentaciju s ključnom informacijom koju organizatori trebaju znati
• kratku pisanu prezentaciju za komunikacijske svrhe
Rok za prijavu: 17. prosinca 2025.
Po završetku selekcijskog postupka, kandidati koji uđu u uži izbor bit će obaviješteni do početka ožujka, a intervjui će se održati putem Zooma u drugoj polovici ožujka.
Kotizacija za sudjelovanje iznosi 1.500 eura. Naknada pokriva obuku, smještaj (s doručkom) te ručkove i pojedine večere tijekom rezidencijalnih radionica. Putne troškove i preostale obroke snose sudionici.

SeriesLab Story Editing is a hands-on training programme designed for audiovisual professionals who wish to work with writers, writer-directors and their producers during the development phase of fiction TV series projects. The aim of the programme is to provide insight into the development process of a fiction TV series, with a particular focus on the early concept-development stage.
The three selected participants will work under the guidance of an experienced story-editing tutor with extensive international experience as a consultant on TV series projects. Alongside theoretical training, each participant will join a group made up of three projects selected from the main SeriesLab programme. These groups are led by a tutor who, together with the story-editing tutor, will support the trainees and provide feedback on the work carried out for each project.
Story-editor trainees will gain an understanding of early-stage series development and acquire skills in concept and script analysis, seriality, project-assessment techniques and script consulting. They will receive practical training in working with writers—from the first idea through to a detailed sales-concept document and an initial draft of the pilot script—helping writers shape the identity, serial engine and tone of their series, and encouraging the creation of a pilot script that remains true to the creators’ intentions.
Trainees will work on early-stage projects selected through SeriesLab, both in group settings and through one-to-one consultations. They will also take part in sessions addressing the specific needs of each project with SeriesLab tutors, as well as sessions focused on broader development principles with their story-editing tutor. In addition, trainees will attend several masterclasses on a range of storytelling-related topics.
Throughout the programme, trainees will have the opportunity to put their skills into practice by leading a development session for their assigned projects. They will also receive guidance on building a professional career as a story editor for fiction television.
The programme runs from June to November 2026 and includes three one-week residential workshops (June, September and November), complemented by a number of online sessions between workshops.
SeriesLab Story Editing concludes with a final presentation at an industry event, where trainees can network with international film and TV professionals and gain visibility through the TorinoFilmLab Catalogue.
The programme is open to film and television professionals—story consultants, producers, script readers for production companies or film funds, development executives and story editors working for broadcasters or production companies—from around the world.
Film professionals without prior experience in TV series projects but interested in learning how to work professionally with serialised fiction, as well as TV professionals who have previously worked only on non-fiction formats (documentary, reality, competition formats, soaps, etc.), are also welcome to apply.
Before beginning the application process, applicants must create an account on the TFL Visitor Page and submit:
• an updated CV with relevant references/experience
• a motivation letter explaining why you wish to work as a development professional in the TV industry
• a one-minute video presentation revealing something the organisers should know about you
• a short written presentation for communication purposes
Application deadline: 17 December 2025
Shortlisted applicants will be notified by early March and interviewed via Zoom during the second half of March.
The participation fee is €1,500. This covers training, accommodation (including breakfast), as well as lunches and some dinners during the residential workshops. Travel costs and any remaining meals must be covered by the participants.

SeriesLab Story Editing is co-funded by Creative Europe – MEDIA.
