The talk was extremely beneficial and a massive eye opener about how difficult it will be to get a job in this industry but also made me believe that I belong in this industry.
The key message was about believing in your work and being a good person to work with, I feel these two things go hand in hand. I am very passionate about my work in this industry and it was great to be in an environment where other people are as well.
Confidence is a massive problem for people in this industry and it was a bit of a boost for me to more confident, if I don't believe in my project then no one else will. Very insightful.
There was a representative there from Cinemagic which was arguably the most interesting part of the whole thing for me. I knew of Cinemagic but wasn't really sure about what they did. They offer labs in various filmmaking crafts like directing, acting and screenwriting. Itsjust a massive organization that cares very deeply about upcoming filmmakers and trying to help them and have some great patrons like Liam Neeson, Jullian Fellowes and Suranne Jones.
I've already enquired about the screenwriting and directing labs to see if I can get on them as I think it'll be a great experience and very beneficial.
I also got to know some of the members of RTS and got some emails which was helpful, anything from showing your face several times will you get you noticed.
Overall it was a great talk, lasted 3 hours, and I feel it was extremely benficial. It made me think a lot about how much I want to work in this industry and about believing in myself and being confident about the work I can produce.
