The Film-Makers' Tea and Cake Event
Got a feature you want to pitch to a producer? Have any burning questions about budgeting for your film? In need of some directing advice? Stuck on a script plot point that is driving you insane? How about 3 exclusive hours of one-to-one, face-to-face time with three qualified film-makers who work in the industry?
The Tea and Cake event is an 'ask me anything' relaxed, confidential and informative gathering for 5 people who are serious about forwarding their careers in film, be that producing, writing, directing or indeed all three! It's a chance to network in the nicest of ways, namely over tea and cake (always good!).

WHERE IS THE CAKE AT? Reserved seating area at in undisclosed location at a central London venue.
WHEN DOES THE CAFFEINE KICK IN? We will coordinate a time / date in September that is suitable for all 5 film-makers to attend.
WHAT IF I DON'T LIVE IN LONDON? No problem, if you are unable to travel to London we can organise a skype conversation, this will last 1 hour (as you will be getting our undivided attention!). Though we would highly recommend coming to the cake party in person if possible, as this is a chance to also meet other like-minded film-makers who are attending.
WHAT DOES MY £125 INCLUDE? It doesn't include travel or accommodation. It does include cake, pots of tea and 3 hours of brain picking and delightful conversation.
CAN I REALLY ASK ANYTHING? Yep. We are passionate about film; film-making is a colloborative industry and we want to help films make it to the screen so ask away! What goes on at a tea and cake event, stays at a tea and cake event.
