Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland is excited to present a special webinar featuring Ben Kelly, the Head of Unscripted Series at Netflix UK & Ireland, in conversation with documentary filmmaker Ross Whitaker taking place online on Wednesday, 29th May 2024 from 2pm to 3pm.
Prior to joining the Netflix team Ben was commissioner at ITV and his credits include the rebooted Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, The X Factor and Zone of Champions.
Ben will be sharing insights and opportunities for the sector with Netflix, focusing on unscripted TV series. There will be an opportunity for delegate Q&As at the end of the session.
This online seminar offers a unique opportunity to gain insights from Ben on unscripted series development, funding, and pitching from Netflix's perspective. The online seminar will focus on non-scripted TV genres such as factual and documentary series, and factual entertainment.
This webinar is aimed at screen professionals working in unscripted TV interested in learning more about the development, funding and pitching process for a major streamer.
