TFL Next - TV Series | Story Editing 2026

Story Editing is a training workshop for film professionals willing to accompany writers and directors in the development of their TV Series projects.

For the first time in TFL Next workshops – through out all the year – we will have the simultaneous presence of selected TV Series projects teams and story editors, working together – guided by experienced mentors – on the TV series treatments development.

Participants will acquire skills in the fields of concept analysis, assessment of project development and script consulting. More concretely, they will gain insight and training in working with writers, from an idea up to a professional draft of the concept, helping them find the core of their story and encouraging a script loyal to the intention of the writer and/or director.

The aim of the program is to provide an insight into the development process, focusing on specific technical material.
Participants will also learn and experiment how to shape and phrase feedback, written or oral, taking into account the project holder’s psychological aspect.

The participants will be selected to work online in a group guided by a tutor, who has wide international experience as a script consultant.

The workshop itself is divided into 2 development sessions:

-a first 5 day-long session, where the selected project teams discuss their work in group sessions and individual meetings with their tutors and story editors trainees.

-then, the project teams have 3 weeks to rework their materials.
- a second 4 day-long session, where participants share and discuss their work again in group and individual meetings with their mentors and story editor trainees.

Story Editing is aimed at script consultants, producers, commissioner editors, film festival and fund representatives, readers for production companies/film funds, beginning trainers/tutors etc. from all over the world, interested in gaining insights into the development process of TV Series projects.

The working language of all workshop, meetings and events is English; thus, a good knowledge of English is essential to participate.
