Virtual Bristol Distinguished Address: Professor Lyndsay Duthie, CEO, The Production Guild of Great Britain
Webinar
>by Industry Events
Pushing past the pandemic, what’s next for film and television?
After an unprecedented halt to film and television production, the industry had to find new ways of working safely. This was a momentous effort which led to the British Film Commission’s working safely on set protocols. Features like Jurassic World: Dominion became a trailblazer, implementing over 40,000 Covid tests for crew and leading the way for new production techniques. There were some wins for jobs that were once perceived as impossible to do from home, enabled by technology. How does that level up the field for those caregivers, in particular women, who leave the industry disproportionately to their male counterparts? What are the lessons we can learn and what does the future look like as we push past the pandemic?

F**kUp Nights Bristol

The Square Club, 15 Berkeley Square, Bristol, BS8 1HB
Networking
Most people fuck up at some point…and nearly everyone lives to tell the tale.
Fuckup Nights is a global movement and event series that shares stories of professional failure. The event has been running in Bristol since 2023.
Events across the globe get three or four people to get up in front of a room full of strangers to share their own professional fuckup/mistake. The stories of the business that crashes and burns, the partnership that goes sour, the product that has to be recalled, stories like these will all be told.
~~~
At this event we will have three fabulous speakers who are going to share their mistakes. No happy ending for any of these three stories!
Hanna Mepstead – was entrusted with the care of a politician’s daughter – and managed to lose her in London!
Steven Adjei – Steven will share his stories of a failed business, bankruptcy, and moral struggles!
Owen Jones & Fiona Graham will discuss nearly losing a key client following a rebrand.
~~~
Hanna’s story is just one of the stories from her time as a celebrity’s PA. You might find out which one ‘on the night’!
In addition, Steven will tell us how he got duped out of hundreds of thousands of pounds in three continents!
Lastly, what do you do when a premium client hates your rebrand? Fiona from Devonia and brand consultant Owen reflect on a potentially catastrophic oversight.
~~~
Let’s change the narrative, let’s #ShareTheFailure and learn from it.
