Seriesly Berlin To Tease ‘German Cocaine Cowboy’; Prime Video’s Christoph Schneider & Mel Eslyn Among Speakers
deadline.comGermany’s newest scripted confab, Seriesly Berlin, takes place later this month and the schedule is coming together. Four-part Prime Video series German Cocaine Cowboy will be teased, while the streamer’s Country Director for Germany, Christoph Schneider, will appear in a fireside chat that I’ll be moderating to offer insights into content strategy.
German Cocaine Cowboy tells the story of a German who became involved in the Cali Cartel in the 1990s. Also scheduled to appear at Seriesly is Mel Eslyn, the President of Duplass Brothers Productions, which is known for Netflix’s Wild Wild Country and HBO’s Somebody Somewhere.
She’ll discuss indie filmmaking in the context of serial production, and will present the European premiere of Penelope, the indie young adult series that premiered at Sundance.
Netflix later snagged U.S. rights to the show, which Eslyn co-created with Mark Duplass, who recently picked up an Emmy nom for The Morning Show.
