December Lab: Building Your Portfolio

11 Dec 2023

Portfolios play an important role in the screen industries and are a way to present your work or style to employers, collaborators and industry folk. However, knowing how to build a portfolio can be a challenge, so we will address the main elements of a portoflio for a career in film and TV.

In this session, we will discuss building a website, creating a showreel, CVs, branding yourself, social media, networking and finally, what to do with your portfolio once it is out there. So, whether you’re brand new to the screen industries and not sure where to start, or you’re looking for advice to revamp your existing portfolio, this session will have something for you!

This session is hosted by Euella Jackson and Elle Dimond.
