Annette Hess has been chosen as the recipient of the inaugural Deadline German TV Disruptor Award and will be recognized at the upcoming Seriencamp event. Hess is celebrated for her contribution to the German TV industry, having created popular drama series such as Weisensee, Ku’damm, and The Interpreter of Silence.
In addition to her creative endeavors, Annette Hess is a fierce advocate for change within the industry. She has been vocal about the need to empower writers and screenwriters in film and TV, as well as the importance of better representation for women in the business. Her efforts have not gone unnoticed, and she is set to receive the prestigious award at Seriencamp in Cologne.
Seriencamp not only offers recognition to industry disruptors like Annette Hess but also features an exciting line-up of industry professionals and sessions. The event will showcase new streamer additions, including Amazon’s Petra Henge presenting what Prime Video has in store for viewers.
Attendees can look forward to a sneak peek at projects in the works, such as the Netflix, BBC, and ZDF drama, “A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder.” The event will also feature previews of upcoming crime thrillers and even a zombie apocalypse series from filmmaker Ben Wheatley.
One of the key themes of Seriencamp this year is the focus on queer representation in drama. Sessions like “(Lost) Queerness In Series” will explore how queer stories can break into mainstream television. The Screenwriters’ Lounge will provide an in-depth look at queer representation in story development, featuring industry experts like Kai Kreuser and Marlene Melchior.
Seriencamp is set to take place from June 5 to 8, offering a platform for industry professionals to come together, showcase their work, and engage in meaningful discussions about the future of television. With a diverse line-up of sessions and speakers, the event promises to be a valuable experience for all attendees.
