If you are eager to meet the best-and-coming talents in drama writing, you can’t miss Only Writers In The Building, the unique showcase of promising eleven writers committed to careers in the TV series industry and trained by TorinoFilmLab and MIDPOINT Institute.

For the second year in a row, this must-attend event features remarkable scriptwriters, coming from different countries and backgrounds, with a specific focus on their personal and professional approach to writing.

Five out of eleven scriptwriters took part in the training programme by TorinoFilmLab SeriesLab Talents, where they boosted their skills in drama series writing, working in a professional writers’ room, going through a simulated concept development process, under the guidance of an experienced mentor.
