BAFTA TV Lab: Pilot to Commission With Current TV's Open Season

A transparent look into the pilot-to-commission process as well as create a TV first, where viewers help shape a channel. By the end of this discussion, one or more of the pilots will have been green-lit, with your input!

Once again, BAFTA and Current TV are teaming up to provide insight into the editorial relationship between factual filmmaker and commissioner. This time we'll be exploring the pilot to commission process as well as offering a unique opportunity for audience members and viewers to help commission Current's next series of documentaries for 2012.

The Open Season initiative showcases four programmes that have the potential to become entertaining series for Current TV, made by emerging directors, new production companies and Current's in-house production unit.

At this event, a live commissioning panel of factual experts and decision makers as well as the audience, will discuss each piece, offering feedback to the filmmakers as well as views on which pilots should become fully-fledged series. The aim of this session is to offer.

Before this event, you are invited to watch and rate extracts from the docs via current.com, Twitter and Facebook. For full pilot synopsis', videos, filmmaker info and your chance to tell us what you think, click here.

Working with creative minds to lift the lid on the TV industry, BAFTA TV Lab events work to offer transparent, practical and inspiring insights into how aspects of the industry really work.
