About the Event
Drama development is a game of mathematics. Over 2,000 ideas are put into paid development every year. Fewer than 7% are greenlit.
In this session Eleanor Greene breaks down why and looks at how you can strategically play the system, looking at who commissions what, how budget bands determine what gets made, and how to make the relationship between your idea, the broadcaster and the budget work in your favour.
