    Networking

    Friction is turning 10! We’re celebrating 10 years of hard work with an evening of ‘notworking’ outside of the office.

    All Bristol creatives are invited to come along and celebrate 10 years of making films & elevating stories with us by doing what we love the most – getting outdoors on our bikes.

    Everyone knows that our connection with nature and the local community is essential for wellbeing. So, take a screen break with an evening outside and unwind by sharing ideas and recharging our creativity.
