Film Hub South East, South West and Midlands are coming together to run an online networking event for producers, writers and directors from across the UK to meet future collaborators and discover bold short film projects.
The event is designed to bring together filmmaking teams to work on short form narrative projects that would be eligible for the BFI NETWORK Short Film Fund.
About the event
Bringing together UK-based producers with directors & writers based in the South West, South East or Midlands, this event will allow filmmaking talent working on short film ideas to discuss their projects with producers who are looking to take on new work and develop their slate.
The event will be hosted via Deal Room, an online meeting platform that will allow you to create a profile and book in 121 video call meetings with other participants between 9am – 8pm GMT on Thursday 11 March.
It is a space to network and explore potential new collaborations with the intention of forming filmmaking teams in order to apply to the BFI NETWORK Short Film Fund, which opens again in April 2021.
