CFC, in collaboration with Bell Media, is pleased to present the second year of the Bell Media Showrunner Program, designed to equip 3-4 experienced TV writers per year with the knowledge and management skills necessary to becoming successful showrunners.

The Bell Media Showrunner Bootcamp will build on their leadership skills, provide practical exposure to the producing side of the equation and empower participants to confidently take on all of the challenges and responsibilities of showrunning.  It will explore positive leadership styles, best practices and the different kinds of relationships that can be built in support of the creative and business process.

The Bell Media Showrunner Bootcamp will delve into the different phases of management – from getting the show; to managing development and negotiating the room; key business considerations; producer and network relationships; hiring creative keys; managing production and post; through to marketing and publicity.
