The psychological thriller Tabula Rasa<\/em> was screened at MIPCOM today, with World Screen<\/em>\u2019s Anna Carugati moderating a panel discussion with co-writer and showrunner Malin-Sarah Gozin, co-writer and star Veerle Baetens, VRT\u2019s Olivier Goris, ZDF\u2019s Sebastian L\u00fcckel and ZDF Enterprises\u2019 Fred Burcksen.<\/p>\n

\u201cVeerle was fascinated by a female lead who was psychologically confused,\u201d said Gozin on the origins of the show. \u201cI was always fascinated by amnesia stories. Those two ingredients fit perfectly together. Tabula Rasa<\/em> is the result.\u201d<\/p>\n

Co-creators Gozin and Baetens shared the writing process. \u201cIt took us five years,\u201d Baetens noted. \u201cWe started in 2011\/12, sitting together once a month or twice a month, just sharing thoughts, watching movies, talking about books, and then Christophe Dirickx came in and that\u2019s when we started working on a treatment. He\u2019d come from London for a week, we\u2019d work on it and then go home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carugati asked about the show\u2019s innovative narrative structure. \u201cThere are two different timelines,\u201d Gozin said. \u201cThe present, where Veerle is stuck in an institution and gets visited by an inspector who believes she\u2019s the sole key in a disappearance case. She has to dig into her memory, her recent past, to find out what happened to the guy [who has disappeared]. That takes us to the past, where she moves into an old house in the woods.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goris, channel manager of \u00e9\u00e9n at VRT, said the project was first presented to the broadcaster in 2014. \u201cWe immediately felt a rush of excitement because we saw the huge potential of the project. We also felt it was really important that we be able to create the production value that was high enough [to match] the content.\u201d<\/p>\n

VRT then collaborated with ZDF and ZDF Enterprises, which is distributing the show globally, to round out the financing.<\/p>\n

L\u00fcckel, commissioning editor at ZDF, said when he saw the pitch, \u201cit\u2019s one of those shows where you want to know more\u2026. There is so much talent coming out of Belgium these days. With this show [signing up as a co-pro partner] was a no-brainer. It would have been hard not to work with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goris added that ZDF\u2019s early involvement was extremely beneficial. \u201cIt made the project stronger than we could have done it on our own.\u201d<\/p>\n

For ZDF Enterprises, Tabula Rasa<\/em> is a key launch for MIPCOM. Burcksen, executive VP and COO, noted, \u201cWe really like the genre mix and the strong women leads in the series.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
