This is the seed that blossoms today as TFL Extended. In 2018, we have officially launched TFL Extended: a selection of intensive workshops addressed to teams of international professionals, who are willing to develop their skills through concrete work, under the guidance of high profile tutors. We have held four intensive residential workshops dedicated to TV Series, Script Development (two editions) and Creative Production respectively, with 59 projects and 83 participants from 35 countries. All workshops combined masterclasses, one to one meetings with international experts and group sessions, where participants can brainstorm with their colleagues and engage themselves in discussions. With TFL Extended we want to expand our network, create new partnerships and give the chance to more professionals to benefit on our pedagogical support. We hope you will enjoy reading the projects. 2 TFL EXTENDED SUPPORTED BY PROMOTED BY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH 3 INDEX 6 TFL Extended 22 TFL Extended – TV Series – Script APRIL 2018 Development JUNE 2018 8 Canvas City Daria Keršić 24 12 Days and Nights George Ktistakis 9 Catapult Benny Drechsel 25 After the Brexit Peter Dörfler Laila Alina Reischer 10 Eutropia 26 CORA: Irene De Lucas Ramón The Saints of Boyacá Camilo Martín-Flórez 11 Ioan Ursuț Carla Fotea 27 Dolores Chico Teixeira 12 Lights Out Sabina Anzuategui David Rocchio 28 Double Happiness 13 Mapped Sebastian Mihăilescu Rachel Tillotson Andrei Epure 14 Megaplex 29 I Wish I Could Hibernate Hayk Matevosyan Zoljargal Purevdash 15 My Place in the World 30 Luna Park Mattia Temponi Florenc Papas Paolo Ferrara Dritan Huqi 16 Play Me 31 My Mad Madonna Slobodan Karajlovic Cinzia Bomoll Josella Porto 17 Purgatoria Dana Nechustan 32 Paris Syndrome Edward Stelder Kimie Tanaka Erina Suto 18 So You Better Run Yashar Alishenas 33 Slaughterman Rafael Antonaccio 19 The Origin Bernardo Antonaccio of Another World Selin Karli 34 The Blunder Alessandra Cardone 20 The Panda Daniel Carsenty 35 The Carjacker Oman Dhas 21 The Scheme Filippo Mazzotti 4 TFL EXTENDED 36 The Fertile Island 50 Letters to Strangers 64 TFL Extended Veronica Mengoli Valerie Wolf Gang Giulia Forcolini Ognjen Obradovi – Creative Production 37 The Promised Land 51 Marie NOVEMBER 2018 Shirin Rashidian Sidharth Mathawan 66 Don’t Gaze Long 38 The Return 52 No Man’s Land Into the Abyss José Hurtarte Arthur Ian Mohammadreza Farzad Karel Poupě 39 The Sea Needs to Heave 53 Open Sky Zain Duraie Ferran Mendoza Soler 67 Love Lowercase Javier Loarte Willy Biondani 40 The Sweet Bitterness Denise Gomes of Ripe Pomegranates 54 Pearl Tears Andrej Volkashin Lévon Minasian 68 Rotten Apples Ester Mann Tom Haines 41 True Love Anna Griffin Cristina Gómez 55 Road to Livramento Giuliana Monteiro 69 Son of the Ashes Beatriz Monteiro Dado Amaral Bruno Bettati 42 TFL Extended 56 Star Kristian Sejrbo Lidegaard – Script 70 The Deleted Development Maria Møller Kjeldgaard Sidharth Mathawan SEPTEMBER 2018 Gagan Mathawan 57 Stoning the Jasmine Zaina Deeb 44 Bleeding Time 71 The Penultimate Lucas Camargo de Barros Jonas Kærup Hjort 58 The 7th Day Rikke Tambo Andersen Julie Benegmos 45 Count to Ten Oleksandra Brovchenko 59 The Foreign Agent 72 The Quest Igor Savychenko Don Barak Natasha Markou JoAnn Hess 46 Dark Side of The Moon 60 The Invisible Mona Deeley Jan Van Dyck 73 You Can’t Stop the Sea Rowland E.
