We are excited to welcome Emilie Blézat, CEO, producer and IP creator and David Dusa, writer/director, Dark Riveria, a Stockholm based IP creation company, bringing innovative content across multiple platforms for production, distribution and licencing.

David will also lead a separate workshop on story for writers. Learn more about the IP Development Workshop for Writers
The sessions will be led by a panel of industry experts developing and producing IP for multiple platforms.
At the heart of captivating content lies compelling storytelling. However, the skilful monetization of this content can yield Intellectual Property (IP), a valuable asset that generates continuous revenue. This steady stream of income empowers producers to expand their reach, introduce content to a broader audience, and fuel the creation of new stories. Notable European success stories include Doctor Who, The Witcher, Peppa Pig and Paddington.
As the European Media Outlook Report from the EU Commission emphasizes, the stakes for European media industries are heightened in the face of global competition. This course delves into the examination of recent global trends in IP monetization, encompassing film, television series, animation, publishing, video games, and virtual worlds. The course explores the expanding value of IP retention and exploitation, both as catalysts for creative growth and for expanding reach to broader, younger audiences.
Areas covered will include:
The masterclass is suitable for producers, independent content creators, creative executives managing teams that are developing IP; and content creators who wish to structure their ideas for presentation.
Please apply online by Friday, 16th February 2024 with a current CV, briefly outlining your focus for attending the sessions. This can be included at the top of your online CV.
Screen Ireland skills opportunities are open to all regardless of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or disability. If you require supports, please let us know in advance so we can put these in place to assist your learning.
