GRACE TRAN

"As a mentor I can help you establish an understanding of the international tv landscape. I will help you navigate the tv development process both domestically and globally, which can range from helping writers shape their vision into a show to helping producers identify and learn the co-production model. I can also help you develop an understanding of the Current television process from the early scripting to cut stages."

Grace Tran is the Director of Global Series at Universal International Studios, one of the scripted studios at Universal Studios Group at NBC Universal. She works across both scripted Development and Current across the US, UK, Australia, and Canadian series. She works production companies across the globe such as Heyday Television, Lark, and Matchbox Pictures to identify, develop, and sell global series. She has helped launch series such as Liane Moriarty’s APPLES NEVER FALL (Peacock), TRANSPLANT (NBC/CTV), and the Peabody winning series, WE ARE LADY PARTS (Channel 4/ Peacock). In addition to working with English language content and territories, she is helping to develop global projects for the Spanish speaking market as well.

Growing up in a multi-cultural and multi-lingual household has informed her passion for telling global stories and hopes to continue creating shows that can help create bridges between cultures.
