Advice and Expertise

FAN Advice Sessions provide Hub Members with access to FREE 1-2-1 specialised advice on a range of topics from effective marketing to introductory programming.

Please note this scheme is for Hub Members only (exhibitors screening films in the South West). For filmmakers, writers, producers, directors seeking advice please sign up for the BFI Network South West newsletter.

*Please note this scheme will continue to run during lockdown, so while you may not need help at your venue right now or to engage audiences for live events – you can still speak to a consultant about the issues you are encountering right now.

 

Are you struggling to put together a marketing plan for your venue?

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?

FAN Advice Sessions 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 film industry experts 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, Skype or face to face at your convenience.
