Over the course of a week, Shorts School participants will hear insights and lessons from industry practitioners, established creators and each other. Whether you’re working towards your first short or sixth, Shorts School is for early level writers, directors & producers to explore case studies, creative process, navigating the industry with your short work, and everything you need to know about applying to the BFI NETWORK Short Film Fund which will reopen in 2023.

There will be roundtables, Q&As, the chance to view short work that’s come through the Short Film Fund, as well as a networking session to meet peers and potential collaborators.

While Shorts School is oriented around the short form, we recognise that early level creators can be (and should be) platform agnostic, and therefore we will draw inspiration from other creative pathways beyond the narrative short film.

Guest speakers include;

Roxy Rezvany, writer & director (Honesty)
Emily Renée, writer & actor (Honesty)
Remy Bazerque, writer & director (Leave To Remain)
Tibo Travers, producer (Leave To Remain)
Julia Jackman, writer & director (The Riley Sisters)
Sorcha Bacon, producer (Pram Snatcher, Wren Boys)
Elise McCave, Senior Director of Film, Kickstarter

NB: We have developed this as a 4-day Lab, and recommend you attend all sessions, where possible.
