The Virtual Writers' Room project aims to educate young Finnish scriptwriters in difficult employment situations to work in professional scriptwriting groups. The goal of the project is to bring digital tools to scriptwriting on a large scale: the Virtual Writers' Room method allows you to move the traditional writers' room to a virtual space.
Goal
In the project, professional scriptwriters mentor groups of young screenwriters who develop a TV series concept using the Virtual Writers' Room method. The starting point for the work is an order received from Yle Draama and the development process is based on the process that is used by Yle Draama. Master Class events focus on current themes for series and group writing.
As a result of the project, there will be more skilled scriptwriters working in professional writers' rooms and the quality of Finnish series will improve.
The project is carried out on 1.11.2018 - 31.12.2020.
