For the first of our Screen Industries Meetups, we’re focusing on the topic ‘Where are we?’

The last five years has seen huge changes across the industry, from the relocation of production hubs to the growth of AI, and the impact of social media on short form content.

It’s time to take a look at where we’ve come from, where we are now, and what we think could come next. It’s no longer about ‘survive until 25’, it’s about thriving in our roles, and seeing how we can adapt to an ever-changing landscape.

Screen industries panel discussion

  • What can newcomers to the screen industries expect?
  • What part does Bristol and the South West play in the screen industries?
  • What role does training and education have in keeping talent here and resisting the pull to London or other locations?

Panelists

  • Vanessa Bewley – Programme Leader and Senior Lecturer on BA Filmmaking at University of the West of England
  • Mark Hill – Executive TV Consultant and ex Head of RDF
  • Reema Lorford – COO at Gritty Talent
  • Stuart Smith – Managing Director at Mostly Media
  • Kate Beetham – Freelance Exec Producer and ex Documentary Commissioner for the BBC
  • Natalie Brereton – TikTok & Social Media Consultant

Our panel of experts from broadcast, education and social media will help answer the most pressing questions from our host as well as the audience.
