Join us for our latest Producers Series to develop your production skills and learn from industry experts, including producers, 1st ADs and senior accountants.

The new series will take place throughout the whole of July, with sessions every Thursday afternoon focusing on a different area of production. You may wish to dip into the sessions that intrigue you most, or take part in the entire series to really boost your knowledge and skills as a producer.

Sessions will be taking place over zoom from 12:30pm - 1:30pm on Thursdays in July. 

*Please note the sessions on animation and accounting still have dates to be confirmed, however, register your interest now at the links below to be one of the first to know when they have gone on sale

Spaces are limited to keep these sessions informal so you have the chance to ask questions about your own productions too.  Spaces are also limited to filmmakers living in the Midlands. 

Not sure if the sessions are right for you, get in touch with us at BFINETWORK@filmhubmidlands.org
