Comedy Spotlight: Bliss
Tuesday, November 7, 2017
4:30 PM - 5:15 PM
Great Room
Join us as we chat with Bliss creator, director and executive producer, David Cross (Arrested Development), Big Talk Productions' Kenton Allen (Friday Night Dinner, Raised By Wolves), Merman’s Clelia Mountford (Todd Margaret, Catastrophe), executive producer and writer Jonathan Glatzer (Better Call Saul, Bloodline) and Sky’s Head of Comedy, Jon Mountague about the creation of the Heather Graham and Stephen Mangan-starrer, premiering on Sky Atlantic early 2018. Here, we’ll explore questions to help you understand writing and producing in the UK, including the differences in writing for a U.S. versus a UK production, what you need to know about securing U.S. talent for a UK production as well as the differences in writer’s guild rules that you need to know to successfully navigate the process.
