ENTERTAINMENT ACADEMY THE MASTER CLASS

At the heart of our Entertainment Academy is The Master Class, a collaborative peer-to-peer executive education programme, designed for television creators, executives and entrepreneurs who want to take on greater responsibilities.

Our Master Class is set up to equip those who run a creative enterprise in the business of television entertainment with the essential toolkit to make ideas become reality, as they are taken from an original thought to a saleable format, focusing on both: HOW TO MAKE THE SHOW & HOW TO MAKE THE MONEY. Essentially, it is about the HOW TO – from scratch to screen and beyond.

You‘ll discover what‘s really making or breaking your ideas. The surprising answer is: it could be YOU.

GARY CARTER

“The EMC is based on a sound principle: practical experience inspiring practical creativity.”

Founded in 2008, the EMC has pioneered a new style of peer-to-peer education, a Master Class created by the industry for the industry, designed for aspiring creators, executives and entrepreneurs who work in the worldwide business of tele- vision entertainment. More than 250 leading practitioners from within the industry and around the world speak, teach and mentor at the EMC. The focus of our Master Class is always on people – their attitudes, mindsets and skills – and on how they trigger creativity to make television entertainment with intelligence, emotion and empathy. Internationally recognised for its interactive curriculum, collaborative dialogue, and global reach, the EMC has earned a reputation as the television industry’s own school of entertainment. The young school is now in its twelfth year, and proud of the remarkable successes of more than 900 Master Class Alumni who moved on to be ahead of the game, making them true masters of entertainment.

“This is the place where the next big hit will be conceived.”

MASTER CLASS GLOBAL CAMPUS

The foremost strength of our Master Class is its personalised approach: Industry mentors are committed to give feedback, advice and guidance, providing one-to-one coaching sessions both inside and outside the classroom. Through dialogue, our participants understand what it takes to turn knowledge into action. Having been equipped by the best, they bring this learning into their work and business.

Our Master Class Programme is modular in structure, con- sisting of three residential Master Classes, each including three workshop days.

In 2019 the upcoming Master Classes are:

EMC #1: THE SHOWRUNNER MASTER CL AS S

June 11 – 13, 2019 | BERLIN

EMC #2: THE FORMAT MASTER CL AS S

September 14 – 16, 2019 | BERLIN

EMC #3: THE ENTERTAINMENT MANAGEMENT MASTER CL AS S

Each of the three Master Classes can be taken on their own, or together as a series. The flexible module structure allows you the freedom to plan your own schedule, mixing and matching the Master Classes you feel are most relevant to your needs.

“Breakout hits created by alumni are just the tip of the iceberg – all across the world’s markets participants of the EMC are doing business, creating and selling new hit shows.”

HOW TO JOIN

Our Master Class is selective, accepting no more than thirty participants for each Master Class. As each Master Class is only as good as its participants, we want to make sure that the group of people selected is a good fit.

Our Master Class is based on the conviction that creative thinking can be triggered when different minds who are willing to share come together in strong multidisciplinary groups. To ensure diversity of experience and background, we are deliberately looking for participants from different fields across the worldwide business of screen entertainment. Participants include creators, producers, commissioners, broadcasters, distributors, advertisers and financers – from small start-ups to large organisations. We aim to reflect the diversity of the business all across the world’s markets, bringing both sellers and buyers together in a truly global classroom.

Our Master Class embraces an educational as well as a social philosophy: worthwhile learning takes place when people connect beyond the classroom. It is not only about learning in one classroom alongside a select group of like-minded peers, it is as much about having fun and making friends.
