Recently, much news has come out of MIPCOM, a global trade show and networking forum where deals are made for foreign TV, as well as film and other entertainment content. MIPCOM is held every year in Cannes, France. The current festival started on October 7 and runs until October 10.

The project follows three mothers who all live in a high-rise in Brooklyn. They help each other as they juggle their lives with marriage, children and relationships.

The writing team of Rottenberg and Zuritsky were nominated for a Emmy award in 2002 for their work writing and producing for "Sex and the City." The nomination was for the "Outstanding Writing for a Comedy  Series" category. They have previously adapted another Israeli comedy for CBS called "Mother's Day." In addition, they have written and executive-produced for the hit TV series "Smash" and the screenplay for the feature film "Heirhead Apparent." Also, Zuritsky's short film, "Civil Unions: A Love Story," premiered at the Atlanta Film Festival.

Rottenberg and Zuritsky are a long-established screenwriting team and met when they were 9 years old while attending acting classes in Philadelphia.

In 2012, June Thomas from Slate Magazine spoke with the writing team about their process of writing scripts and separating work life from their personal life. When asked how they write, Zuritsky said, "We have a time-honored process. We map out the script we’re writing, what’s the story, who are the characters. Once we have a blob of an idea, we talk about what scenes we need to tell these stories. We outline together. We map out the beats in a beat sheet, then we chop it in half."

As far as how they manage to maintain a simultaneous working relationship and friendship, Rottenberg added, "The upside to having a partner who is your best and oldest friend is that you have this incredibly long-lived bond and this foundation of trust and love. This is a hard business, and there are some really bad days when your ego gets bruised or when you’re feeling bad or someone’s mean to you, and that’s when it’s super nice to have your best friend there to give you a hug and make you feel better."

Having the discipline to go from an idea to a finished script takes some adherence to personal rules. Check out Kevin Casey's ScreenCraft post: The Sixteenth "Platinum Rule" of Screenwriting
