US producer/writer Neal Baer (A Gifted Man, ER) and executive producer/writer Frank Spotnitz (Hunted, The X-Files) will attend the first module of the European TV Drama Series Lab 2012 (April 24-29) in Berlin, to discuss the successful concept of showrunners in US TV series and how it could be applied to the European market. The first workshop organised by the Potsdam-based Erich Pommer Institut in association with UK-based MediaXchange will be dedicated to the framework and narrative structures for successful series as well as the legal and financial aspects of co-productions. European experts invited include Anne Bjornstad (pictured - Rubicon TV, Norway), co-creator of NRK's hit series Lilyhammer, and Peter de Maegd (Caviar Films/Potemkino, Belgium), producer of the transmedia European project The Spiral. The second module of the European TV Drama Series Lab (June 9-15, 2012) will be dedicated to the American creative concept of the Writers Room. For further information, check: http://www.tv-lab.eu/
