The European Showrunner Programme has helped me find strength and developed my leadership skills as a writer and showrunner in the projects that I’m currently working on and for future projects. The community I‘ve found with the other writers and showrunners helps and guides me when I encounter professional challenges.

»Home for Christmas«, »I Do«

The European Showrunner Programme is like a great anthology series – every module is another fascinating story with inspiring characters – and you can always find something interesting that improves not only your showrunner skills.

Wiktor Piątkowski, Poland

»Wataha«, »War Girls«

Taking part in the ifs European Showrunner Programme has been incredibly rewarding, both in sharpening the knowledge I’ve already accrued, as well as introducing me to some new ideas and approaches that will absolutely help me in my work going forward.

»Sisterhood«, »Stella Blomkvist«

Jóhann Ævar Grímsson
I’ve been dreaming of becoming a showrunner for years, but didn’t know where to start. The European Showrunner Training gave me a good idea what a European showrunner could and should do, practical tools for showrunning, and most importantly: courage. Now I’m developing my first show as a showrunner and can’t wait to share what I’ve learned with others.
