Join us at Sunderland Short Film Festival for a filmmaker roundtable in partnership with New Writing North and North East Screen.
This event is aimed at early career writers, directors and producers based in the North who are looking to learn how to break into the film industry, from making your first short through to funding and support for feature film and screen-based projects. This informal session will be an opportunity to meet fellow filmmakers and ask questions to our industry panel.
Hosted by Jen Bradfield, BFI Network Talent Executive at Film Hub North; Roxy Mckenna, Screen Development Producer at New Writing North; Sam Barnett, Talent Producer at Film Hub North; and Lisa Laws, Development Director at North East Screen.
