“Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”

Networking, however, can be an awkward business. Here’s an alternative: speed networking for Young Creators.

At this event, you’ll have the chance to make connections in a number of fast, informal 8-minute sessions, plus the opportunity to grab a drink and mingle at the end of the night. Meet potential collaborators, whether you’ve got a project to share or are on the look out.

This event is for directors, editors, writers and producers. Come prepared (we’ll send you tips and details ahead of time!).
