VR Writers' Rooms Unite European Storytellers
5 May
Summary
- Nine European writers selected for a VR immersive writers' room program.
- The initiative aims to bridge the gap between US and European writing styles.
- Program runs from May 2026 to July 2026, concluding with industry pitches.
A cohort of nine European writers is currently developing original series concepts through an immersive virtual reality writers' room initiative. This program, running from May 2026 until July 2026, is the third edition of its kind and features participants selected from a pool of over 60 applicants.
The initiative, co-funded by the European Union's Creative Europe Media and Wide Eye Films, aims to foster collaborative storytelling. It seeks to bridge the disparity between the predominantly solo work style of European writers and the collaborative writers' room approach common in the U.S.
Participants will engage in industry expert masterclasses, talks, and networking events within the VR environment. The program's conclusion will see attendees pitching their developed projects directly to European TV producers and commissioners, offering significant industry exposure.
