Short Film Storytelling with Jess Jones
In July 2020, Ffilm Cymru and BFI NETWORK Wales hosted 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 offered 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 was also useful for those who may have a creative track record in another discipline and be interested in making a short film.
