INDUSTRY SPEED NETWORKING
TOWN HALL
Sunday 22 March
Doors 2:45 PM | Session 3:00 PM | End 4:45 PM
An invaluable opportunity for filmmakers to expand their networks, ask key organisations direct questions and take the next steps in their creative journeys. The event will give Northern filmmakers direct access to industry experts, decision makers and organisations offering regional opportunities. Come and put faces to names, ask the questions you want answered but don’t know who to ask and talk about your projects.
This dynamic session will take the form of rotating roundtable conversations. Participants will move between tables every 15 minutes, creating space for focused, meaningful exchanges and practical advice. The aim is to offer advice on pathways into documentary and fiction production, funding routes, festival strategies and professional development across the Northern screen landscape.
Come and meet:
Bea Neumann & Josh Renyard (Screen Yorkshire)
Benjamin Taylor or Jen Bradfield (Film Hub North )
Katie Bignell & Ian Bignell (Festival Formula)
Hollie Bryan (Producer, CosmoSquare Films; BAFTA-nominated for The Ceremony),
Natasha Hawthornthwaite & Scott Bradley (Director and Producers, Doc North)
Caris Rianne (Director, Women X Film Festival)
Sophie Duncan (Marketplace & Talent Programmes Producer, Sheffield Film Festival)
Carley Armstrong (Producer & Writer)
Alixe Lobato (Square Lens Alliance)
