"The end product is 6 hours but to get there was years of work. You have to remember your life is the process, don’t chase the final destination so much."
We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with screenwriting alumnus, Samuel Jefferson, who told us all about his journey from grad to co-creator and head writer of the award winning Apple TV Original series, Berlin ER. The series won Best Drama Series and Best Cinematography Fiction (Tim Kuhn and Jieun Yi) at the German Television Awards, and was nominated for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Directing Fiction and Best Editing Fiction – an incredible achievement!

"There were 700 applications. I had an interview, then workshops on the 1st-3rd September, there were 28 people at the workshops, half writer's and half director's, we had exercises and from the workshops they picked half of us.
In the next couple of weeks I will be paired with a writer with an original half hour drama script that will be developed over the next three months through Channel 4 and Touchpaper TV and Producer Emma Burge.
