Are You Series - Talks & Meetup
Today we are seeing a notable increase in series with an autobiographical content. Scriptwriters are telling their own stories, sometimes using a pseudonym and sometimes not.
The autobiographical genre brings with it a lot of choices. How close should you stick to reality? Or should fact and fiction be freely mixed? What are the consequences for an author who is identified with a character in a series? And can you control this anyway? Are autobiographical series necessarily narrative in form? If not, what other forms and scripts can be considered? And how is it possible for a character to address a wide audience from such a hyper-personal approach?
