BFI Future Film Festival 2021 | Production company representation vs working independently
Production company representation can help make connections that could see you directing anything from traditional TV commercials, to short films and music videos, to web series and feature-length documentaries.
But is this the only path to a successful directing career?
In this session, we discussed how you can take the first steps towards working with a production company, how a production company would support and develop your career and being signed without losing your own creative identity.
We also talked about why you shouldn’t wait to be signed with a production company to start making films, how to build your own creative communities, and how traditional production company models can and should learn to support the next generation of creative talent within an ever-evolving landscape.
