Are you struggling to put together a marketing plan for your venue or festival?
Do you need advice on attracting new audiences, or
programming for a specialist season?
Do you have a technical issue at your venue, or need advice with projection?
Need guidance on constructing a budget or evaluation?
We are here to help you if you feel you are lacking in a specific area of cinema expertise, have an issue you’d like to talk through, or need some programming advice. We can provide you with the assistance and knowledge you require to help your organisation develop and grow. Our team are available to book for half day 1-2-1 sessions, followed by evaluation and practical steps to take next. Sessions can take place over the telephone, zoom or face to face at your convenience. We can also signpost you to a range of film industry experts based in the region if we do not have the expertise in-house.
