From Concept to Screen: HSE University Launches a New Course with Production Industry Experts
Every day, the Production team works with millions of viewers worldwide through the Kinolenta platform, giving us a front-row seat to the rapidly evolving world of digital entertainment. What began as an experimental format has quickly become one of the fastest-growing segments of the global content industry: short dramas.

This February, the Institute of Film at HSE University will launch "Microdramas: The Writers' Room," an intensive course designed to help shape the next generation of creators in digital storytelling.

Participants will work alongside active screenwriters and industry professionals, including experts from Production:

👤 Evgeny Danilkin

Chief Director, actor, and screenwriter, Production

👤 Valeria Turdakova

Assistant Director and screenwriter, Production

👤 Vladimir Sivov

Founder of Kinolenta and Lime HD

👤 Omer Abacıoğlu

Producer and International Director of Content

The Production team has already created 12 successful short drama series and brings extensive hands-on expertise that participants will gain throughout the program.

By the end of the course, each participant will develop a fully realized 60-episode season. The strongest project will receive production funding and move into development.

It is an honor for Production to be part of this initiative. We are proud of our experts, who are helping shape the future of the short drama industry by sharing their knowledge and experience with the next generation of storytellers.
