BFI NETWORK South East
Producers Programme

01/11/2020 - 01/01/2021

Following the success of our Producers Lab earlier this year, Film Hub South East have partnered up with UK Producers’ Roundtable to support the development of ten emerging live action/animation producers.

Led by Loran Dunn (Delaval Film), Helen Simmons (Erebus Pictures) and Sophie Reynolds (SONA Films) of the Producers’ Roundtable, the programme will run online across approximately 4 full days during November 2020 – January 2021. 

The selected producers will attend a series of online sessions joined by a host of industry experts and established producers who will share practical knowledge, tools and tips on various areas of the producing process including development, finance and contracts, pitching, marketing and distribution, how to position yourself as a producer, sustainability and transitioning from shorts to features.
