This fugitive unit is what sets the action in the crime\/police procedural <em>FAST<\/em>, from <em>Nurses<\/em> and <em>Arctic Circle <\/em>producer Yellow Film &amp; TV.<\/p>\n<p>Each episode follows one fugitive case from escape to arrest. The opening sequence is seen from the point of view of the fugitive(s). Information about the escape is then relayed to the FAST team, which maps out the location and apprehension strategy.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; position: relative; max-width: 690px;\">\r\n \t                <div style=\"padding-top: 56.2504%;\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<video data-video-id=\"6239718904001\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-account=\"1120308147\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-player=\"default\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-embed=\"default\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-application-id \r\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"video-js\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tcontrols=\"\"\r\n                    loop autoplay\r\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0px; bottom: 0px; right: 0px; left: 0px;\"><\/div><\/video>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/1120308147\/default_default\/index.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The unit leader is a former murder squad boss who is able to put herself in the position of the fugitives. To her, every offender is an individual with their own history, motives and goals. She is supported by a team of diverse characters, each with a different background and motivation of their own.<\/p>\n<p>Global Screen is taking <em>FAST<\/em> out to the international market and is touting the series\u2019 episodic structure as a key selling point. It\u2019s a show that\u2019s easy to grasp, topical and universal, making it also ripe for remakes.<\/p>\n<p><em>World Screen<\/em>\u2019s Kristin Brzoznowski spoke to Tatiana Elf, creator of <em>FAST<\/em>; producer Pietari Vappula; and Ulrike Schr\u00f6der, VP of acquisitions and co-productions at Global Screen, for a behind-the-scenes look at how the series came together and what gives the show its international appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Elf explains that the seed of the idea was a show about a team of police officers who go after fugitives. \u201cI started gathering materials, doing research, going to prisons and talking to prison officials, police officers and some criminals,\u201d she says of her initial approach to crafting the series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe show tells about the value of teamwork,\u201d says Elf, and highlights the diverse group of five that makes up the team tracking down fugitives in each episode.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s always a ticking clock, with 48 hours to apprehend the fugitive before the trail gets cold,\u201d says Vappula in highlighting what drives the action. \u201cOur team is working toward that deadline. They\u2019re trying to figure out the motives for the escape and who around the fugitive might have helped.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schr\u00f6der adds, \u201cFrom a distributor\u2019s point of view, buyers prefer programs with clear genres, and <em>FAST<\/em> is most definitely a straight crime show. At the same time, every crime show contains a social comment. In this case, the social comments are evident and range from diversity to issues of how to deal with offenders in a society and much more. This is what makes <em>FAST<\/em> so appealing to a broad audience, apart from being a whodunit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a lot of action scenes and high-quality exterior shots, with drone shots and high-speed car chase scenes,\u201d she continues. \u201cIt\u2019s a classic format that will always work and is sought-after.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>See Global Screen\u2019s Spring 2021 Showcase <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3c95WCZ\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Screen Newsflash hears from Tatiana Elf, creator of FAST;
