Every audiovisual project is born from a small idea, a moment of illumination that becomes an outline, which in turn shapes a script, and so on until it appears on a television channel or on an online platform such as Netflix. 

 Hernán Caffiero - Chilean filmmaker and screenwriter - knows this process perfectly, having written, directed, assembled and produced "A Necessary Story", a series of sixteen short films about the human rights violations during the Pinochet dictatorship that made him win an international Emmy in 2018 for the best short form series. 

 In this course, Hernán will share your process and tools to transform that great idea in your head into an attractive project for television or online platforms.

## Who is this online course for?

To all the fans of the television series who have a saved idea and do not know the steps they must follow to make it happen.

## What is this course's project?

You will create the bible of a fiction series project, from the development of the idea to the commercial projections that your project may have.

## Requirements and materials

You must have a computer with some script software such as Celtx or Final Draft. You can develop your proposal as you want: with pencils, watercolor papers, Adobe Photoshop or a camera. 

 In short, you need to love fiction series and have an idea to develop.
