Following the success of our Producers Lab earlier this year, Film Hub South East have partnered up with UK Producers’ Roundtable to support the development of ten emerging live action/animation producers.
Led by Loran Dunn (Delaval Film), Helen Simmons (Erebus Pictures) and Sophie Reynolds (SONA Films) of the Producers’ Roundtable, the programme will run online across approximately 4 full days during November 2020 – January 2021.
The selected producers will attend a series of online sessions joined by a host of industry experts and established producers who will share practical knowledge, tools and tips on various areas of the producing process including development, finance and contracts, pitching, marketing and distribution, how to position yourself as a producer, sustainability and transitioning from shorts to features.
Who can apply
- Applicants must be based in the South East (find your local film hub)
- Must be aged over 18 and not in full time education
- Have some track record of short form work (short films, web series, music videos etc).
Please note this programme is only open to producers and is not suitable for directors or writers.
