Creators of hit TV drama to share insights at FÍS summit

The creative crew behind Making a Dublin Murder will attend the annual FÍS TV Summit (FÍS), which takes place in Galway City’s Taibhdhearc Theatre next Thursday, January 23. The one-day conference will feature speakers and panel discussions which examine the current television landscape, trends, challenges and opportunities. It’s also a networking opportunity those involved in the industry.

The latest addition to the lineup is a panel on Making A Dublin Murder which will take us through the development and production of Dublin Murders, the BBC/RTÉ series that gripped audiences last year. Creator Sarah Phelps and producer Noemi Spanos will be in discussion with Chelsea Morgan Hoffman from Irish company, Element Pictures. Their conversation will shine a light on how Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad books were adapted and how the series was made.

The theme of FÍS 2020 is ‘Developing TV Drama’. As well as panel discussions, there will be case studies and interviews tackling this crucial phase in any project. Speakers will include Irish, UK and US commissioners, distributors, writers, producers and directors with representatives from industry leaders including BBC, BBC Studios, RTÉ, TG4, Virgin Media and About Premium Content. A pitching competition has been added to the schedule, allowing for the possibility of new TV content to be unveiled at FÍS.
