    NETWORKED Speed Networking – BFI NETWORK x Encounters Film Festival

    Online

NETWORKED is a bi-monthly online networking event run by BFI NETWORK South West, which is open to all South West based filmmakers and crew.  

For this special event, in partnership with Encounters Film Festival 2021, we will hear from our guest speakers – Bristol based production company Wildseed Studios – about their current slate of animated and live action projects for young adult audiences and how they can support new talent to develop features, series and shorts for platforms like Netflix.   

After the talk you will be entered into a chat roulette system where you will be able to speed network in pairs for five minutes at a time and have opportunity to meet with other local filmmakers and the guest speakers.
