Big Stories on the Small Screen kicks off its’ first full workshop week
Big Stories on the Small Screen has kicked off its first full workshop week at the Radisson in Dublin on May 30th.

Big Stories on the Small Screen is led by IFTA- and BAFTA-winner Neasa Hardiman. Check out our interview with Hardiman about the initiative here.

Developing Story is a week-long intensive workshop for ten writers/creative teams. There was heavy competition for places at the event, whose final selection includes high profile participants from the world of film and television.

The ten projects selected for this workshop are:

  • Laura Canavan-Hayes – ‘The Female Banker’
  • Eoin Cleland & PJ Hart – ‘The Watchlist’
  • Tom Collins – ‘Pirate Queen’
  • Peter Delaney – ‘Blood Harrow’
  • Gemma Doorly – ‘Madam’
  • Devin John Doyle – ‘Devoted Wife and Mother’
  • Niamh Gleeson – ‘Hannah Golden’
  • Tara Jane Hegarty – ‘Normal for North’
  • Lauren Mackenzie – ‘Never Again, Again’
  • Nick Wilkinson & Senta Rich – ‘Devils’

The week-long writers’ rooms are led by David Isaacs, writer of shows as diverse as ‘Mad Men’, ‘Frasier’ and ‘Cheers’, and Oscar-nominated screenwriter Tom Abrams. Both screenwriters teach at the Master’s in Screenwriting programme at the University of Southern California.

The week includes guest lectures by:

  • Frank Spotnitz, award-winning screenwriter of ‘The Man in the High Castle’, ‘Medici’: ‘Masters of Florence’ and ‘The X-Files’
  • Emma Norton and Jennie Scanlon from Oscar-nominated and Cannes-winning Element Pictures
  • Malcolm Campbell, writer of ‘What Richard Did’, ‘Shameless’ and ‘Skins’
  • Orlaith Carmody, specialist in pitching and communications

Big Stories is funded by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland in association with the Irish Film Board.
