Transformative Training
In 2010, London Short Film Festival and Shooting People partnered up to offer a programme of ‘Transformative Training’ for UK filmmakers. Built around the response to our online survey, these tailored events were aimed at developing the skills of both experienced and first time filmmakers.
Highlights from the programme included ‘Mastering your Craft: BAFTA Training Day‘ (16 January). Delivered in partnership with BAFTA, this day consisted of a series of two hour sessions, each looking at a specific filmmaking craft. Top practitioners including BAFTA-winning screenwriter Tony Grisoni, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE editor Chris Dickie and acclaimed cinematographer John de Borman brought their on-the-ground experience to these intimate, hands-on events.
Curzon Soho was taken over for the casual, lively Howling Feedback Industry Sessions, where guests discussed filmmaking, financing, legals, festivals and formats.
Today’s short filmmakers are the future of British film. With this in mind, Vision Pictures ran one-to-one surgeries for filmmakers who are pitching and packaging their first feature. These sessions offered expert, tailored advice from experienced producer Rebecca Knapp on how to best present your project.
