Messy, Weird and Personal – Why Risky Storytelling Wins Audiences

Wed, 04.06.25 / 16:30 - 17:30
Herbrand’s / Bahnhaus
Berta Prieto Carrasco, Lisa van Brakel, Bilal Bahadır, Sarah* Claire Wray, Melina Natale

In an industry saturated with safe bets and polished IP, it's the raw, the strange, and the deeply personal that truly resonate. Messy, Weird, and Personal is a rallying cry for writers who believe stories should challenge, not just entertain.

This panel brings together creators who write with purpose, who break rules, take risks, and aren’t afraid to show the cracks. It’s about vision over formula, substance over strategy. If you believe stories can shift culture, by not playing it safe, then this is your space.
