You don't have a bad idea. You have an unfinished one.
The Holiday Short Idea Lab is a live, two-hour online session where we brainstorm, build and punch up holiday short ideas together — in real time, with real feedback.
We split the session in two: the first hour is Christmas, the second is Halloween. In each hour we generate ideas fast, filter ruthlessly, and then do the most important thing most writers skip — we make them GREAT. Not just "that could work." Actually great. Broadcaster-ready, specific, surprising, and yours.
You'll leave with at least three ideas for BOTH Christmas AND Halloween that broadcasters would grab — and that you'll actually love writing.
No slides. No theory. Just a room full of writers doing the work.
€10... but only this ONCE. Two hours. Six ideas. Let's go!
