Short Film Storytelling with Jess Jones

16th July 2020, 10:00

Join Ffilm Cymru and BFI NETWORK Wales for a free webinar on short film storytelling with script editor Jess Jones.

The short film is a distinctive and challenging artform in its own right. With this in mind, Jess will offer insights into how to conceive an engaging story in this format - whether a fiction, a documentary or a hybrid film. Aimed at early career writers, directors and producers, this event is also open to those who may have a creative track record in another discipline and be interested in making a short film. There will be a Q&A opportunity.

Date: Thursday 16th July
Time: 10:00-12:00

Once you've registered, we will email you with the link to join this online event.
