We’re excited to announce that Industry will be in the spotlight at this year’s Copenhagen Masterclasses, with creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay leading a deep-dive session on the making of the series.

Industry has made its mark with a raw and unflinching look at the brutal hierarchy of high finance — a world where loyalty is conditional, relationships are transactional, and emotional detachment is a survival skill. With its sharp dialogue and morally ambiguous characters, the series peels back the surface of ambition and power to expose what’s left when no one is watching — or caring.

Before stepping into the world of TV writing and creating Industry, both Mickey and Konrad worked in finance. Their journey from the world of numbers to the world of narratives is a fascinating one. In this session, they’ll reveal how their unique perspective allowed them to tell a story unlike any other — and helped them bring a sense of authenticity to the high-pressure world of Industry.

But how do you craft a show from scratch when you’re coming in with little experience in the traditional TV landscape? In this masterclass, they will share the challenges and surprises they faced as newcomers to the industry.

Join us as Mickey Down and Konrad Kay share their journey from finance to television — and how they created a series that speaks to a new generation while offering a raw look into one of the world’s most competitive industries.

This session is supported by Vision Denmark.
