David Shore, Producer of ‘House’, Asked to Mentor European Producers
June 10, 2007 by Lynn
The Hollywood Reporter said that a number of American TV Producers were asked for their insights into successful TV show production by a group of European Producers. Among them was House’s David Shore. Here’s an excerpt of the article:
European TV drama producers, the British and Germans in particular, seem determined to learn all the tricks of their trade — as they apply in the U.S. The industrialization of TV production by U.S. studios is something many European producers are urgently looking to adopt as they cope with harsh economic realities.
At least that is the viewpoint of noted international production consultant Katrina Wood, founder and CEO of Los Angeles- and London-based media firm MediaXchange. But her point is well illustrated by the fact that the Princess Anne Theater at the British Academy of Film and Television and Arts in London is booked for a conference Thursday that features a bevy of leading U.S. showrunners, including David Shore, creator/executive producer/showrunner of “House.”
The aim of the gathering of TV executives from the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Spain and other big international territories is to look at how the U.S. process of writing and sustaining TV series could be a model for production in Europe.
It’s great news for House that it’s so well respected everywhere, but they had better not get any ideas of bringing Hugh Laurie back to the UK! We want him here for House!
