"Media Group Ukraine, systematically having developed its own production, and being a leader in terms of capacity and quality of Ukrainian scripted content, is always looking for new opportunities for co-production, new formats and genres, distribution and broadcasters. Project TViy Serial (Your Series), initiated by Media Group Ukraine and Media Resources Management, develops the industry of content production in Ukraine and helps to find brand new ways of effective collaboration, establish a creative dialogue and cooperation with colleagues in the whole world. We are glad that HBO professionals will share their experience with Ukrainian media market’s representatives, and with a great enthusiasm, we support such educational initiatives, through which a lot of new ideas and opportunities of their realization spring up," – comments Olga Zakharova, Director for Strategic Marketing of Media Group Ukraine.

The program of the event includes case studies and keynotes covering a wide range of issues – from project development, participation in pitching and fundraising to peculiarities of cooperation with international broadcasters and monetization on Internet platforms, as well as creation of web series.

In almost a decade, the series genre grew from the status of low-budget television production, aimed at a segmented target audience with averaged artistic tastes. For many eminent filmmakers, television has become a platform that gives even greater freedom of creativity than cinematography. Channels and production companies improve the quality of the content, develop new stories, search for new characters, open new talents. all this increases the competitiveness of the Ukrainian scripted content on the global market. Ukrainian producers also seek to this increasing the competitiveness of the Ukrainian scripted content on the global market. Responding to the market’s request, one-off actions in support of domestic series production developed into a long-term program of cooperation between Media Group Ukraine and Media Resources Management, called TViy Serial (Your Series). The initiative is aimed at encouraging Ukrainian authors to actively participate in the development and production of series and cultural evolution of series consumption among the audience.
