I am pleased to announce that my creative team from Henry Bramble (Myself, Charlotte Wontner and Annabel Bates) have been offered a place on a free six month creative and business development programme devised by Screen South, Maidstone Studios, Peter Jones Academy and Amersham & Wycombe College. The programme will cover subjects including:
- Script and Project Development
- Legals and contracts
- Entrepreneurial mind-set and skills
- Planning and Pitching
- Creative Business - planning and development
- Sources of Funding and Finance
- Single project and Business Investments
- Ways to market (Traditional vs. new media including social networks)
- Sales Distribution Exhibition – what are they looking for?
- Working with the global markets UK and International
- Understanding exploitation potentials of projects (IP)
- Use of new medias and IP
- E-marketing and promotion
Over the next six months there will be fortnightly seminars, master classes, continuing script development, bespoke one to one meetings and training days, with daily access to hot desks, phones, internet and a meeting space at The Maidstone Studios. The programme concludes with all 8 teams pitching both their projects and businesses in London with top industry financiers, producers and business angels.
Sounds a bit like The Big Pitch all over again, except there will be no audience vote to stop us this time!
