Create the best conditions for your story to become.
Align on a shared vision for your project with your partners.
A TV series takes shape through the people who create it, each bringing their own perspective and ambition. Aligning on a shared vision is a creative process in itself.
EWC’s Accelerator makes room for that process. It unites writers, producers and broadcasters around TV-series projects for an international audience and focus the development process by aligning the creative vision of the story between all involved and secure that all agree on how to bring the story to life.
Shaped by experience and industry feedback from EWC’s previous labs, the Accelerator carries forward our belief in European stories, and provide clarity of outcome and deliverables through agreed common goals.
The Accelerator runs once every year. Six to eight projects will be selected and will be accelerated throughout a period of four months.
What you can achieve

Through exploration and test of the relevance and resonance of the story and each of the creative team members motivation for telling it, the teams can align on a shared creative vision.
-
When aligning on and sharing a vision for the story, the team builds trust and confidence in the story and one another, setting each other free to do what they do the best.
-
International collaboration is the key to the future. Exchange perspectives, explore opportunities and expand the story vision cross-border with existing and new potential partners.
