Talk to Serial Eyes – City of Blood

Talk to a Serial Eye is a series of conversations, showcasing the exceptional talents trained at Serial Eyes, the professional training program for TV writers. During the sessions, successful alumni share their experiences, creative journeys, and the essential skills they gained during their time at Serial Eyes. In this edition, we will interview Elena Lyubarskaya who created "City of Blood" for Disney+ and another Serial Eyes alumna, Kim Zimmermann, who was also part of the creating and writing team. The discussion will focus in particular on the challenge of channeling one’s creativity into an existing core concept and developing a unique vision from it. It will also cover experiences with working within a very specific genre and the complex tasks involved in worldbuilding. The format is hosted by Serial Eyes Head of Studies Katrin Merkel, who asks her guests about the use (or non-use) of writers’ room techniques, individual working methods and recipes for success, budgets, schedules and the challenges of international teamwork.
