Monday 6.30pm free event!

In this online world, image is everything. The ways that you present yourself and your work as a screen professional can make or break your success in the industry. But how do you make sure that you’re putting out the right signals?

Join us for our December Lab panel discussion, where we’ll lay out all the best practices for showing prospective collaborators who you are and what you can do. Our industry professionals will specify the dos and don’ts of creating your showreel, portfolio and pitch decks, as well as the best ways to use Instagram, and even the correct way to write a really good email. They’ll provide hints for how to approach people at networking events, how long to wait to follow up, and explain other elements that affect how you come across to people in the screen industry.


Panellists:

  • Ahmad Swaid - Head of Content, Dazed Media and NOWNESS

  • Nathan Bryon - Actor, Writer and Producer

  • Yen Yau - Director of Training Programmes, The Grierson Trust + Board Trustee, CMI

Hosted by Nicole Davis – BFI NETWORK Officer, Film Hub South East


This event is part of the Career Ladder strand of BFI Film Academy Labs 2021/22.
