The Serial Eyes Alumni Network (SEAN) is an organization of
international writers and producers sharing a specific vision of
serialized storytelling taught by our alma mater Serial Eyes,
Europe’s premiere training program for TV writers and
producers.
We are trained in the Writers' Room method and skilled at setting
up, running, and participating in collaborative creative teams. We
represent a new generation of industry creatives knowledgeable
about the entire process of development and production. We can
all work in our native languages as well as in English.
