FESTIVE FILM SHOWCASE by Screen WM – Mon 8th Dec @ Radisson Birmingham

This is a bit short notice so you’ll have to get in quick if you want to book your place.

On Monday, Screen WM are generously putting on a (FREE) day long series of screenings and events, leading up to the featured screening of ‘The Children’ with a masterclass and Q&A session from it’s director Tom Shankland.

The event will take place from 8:45-6:15 (approx) at the Radisson Birmingham with an afternoon screening at Cineworld Birmingham. Refreshments will be provided.

Here’s a unique chance to spend some quality time with some of the best creative film makers from the region and to find out how they made this a year to remember… 

Whether you are a writer, producer or director, or other film creative wanting to know more about what goes on behind the scenes, and behind the camera, this is a day for you to come along and be inspired.

To book your free place please RSVP to Amy Newbery – amy.newbery@screenwm.co.uk or ring on 0121 265 7120 by Friday 5th December.

The Schedule:

8:45  Coffee and registration; Introduction and welcome from Lee Thomas, Executive Producer

9:15–10:30  Session one – GEOFF THOMPSON (CLUBBED, ROMANS 12:20, BOUNCER)

After a screening of Romans 12:20, his latest award winning short, Coventry based and BAFTA winning writer Geoff Thompson will talk about the process of writing stories, and will make some observations about the challenges of moving from the short to longer feature form. As in all the sessions, there will be time for Q&A.

10:30  Session two - NATASHA CARLISH (SOULED OUT, BOUNCER),

Showing exclusive clips from her eagerly awaited SOULED OUT, starring Martin Compston, Natasha will share her experience of co-producing her first feature. She’ll talk about the challenges of making a period movie on a sub £1 million budget, and what low budget REALLY means…(and how to prepare for it!).

11:15-11:30 break

11:30  Session three – JUSTIN EDGAR (SPECIAL PEOPLE, LARGE, ROUND)

Justin Edgar, hot off the release of his headline grabbing second feature, will talk about trying to adapt a short to a feature, the challenges of being a writer-director, and about guerrilla marketing on a shoe string budget. Justin will explain how his work has turned a slow burn small indie film into a surprise “must have” title for larger cinema chains.

12:30  (tbc)  Lunch, and transfer to Cineworld

1:15–3:00   Screening of THE CHILDREN, by Tom Shankland 

“Horror Film of the Year” News of the World

3:30   Session four – TOM SHANKLAND (WAZ)

An informative and candid session about writing for and directing horror; adapting from other source material; marketing a horror; the importance of the editing process and how important that is; the role of test screenings and other insights into the making of one of this year’s hottest horror titles.

6:00   Close and wrap up – Lee Thomas

    I wish to express my appreciation to the writer just for rescuing me from this particular matter. After surfing through the the net and meeting basics that were not helpful, I figured my entire life was gone. Living without the presence of solutions to the problems you have solved as a result of your main review is a crucial case, as well as those that could have adversely affected my career if I had not encountered your website. Your good capability and kindness in controlling all things was important. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had not encountered such a subject like this. I can also at this point look forward to my future. Thank you very much for this professional and amazing guide. I won’t think twice to suggest your blog post to anyone who would need assistance about this topic.

    This is a sensible weblog. I mean it. You’ve a lot knowledge about this problem, and a lot enthusiasm. You also know how to create people rally behind it, of course through the responses. Youve received a design right here thats not as well flashy, but makes a statement as massive as what youre declaring. Fantastic position, certainly.

    The attractiveness of these blogging engines and CMS platforms could be the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that makes it possible for developers to put into action rich content material and ‘skin’ the internet site in this kind of a means that with extremely minor effort one particular would never observe what it’s creating the site tick all without having limiting content and effectiveness.
