Be Inspired, Get Connected.

👉 Join Gusto, InspoHub and four talented women from film, commercial production and animation at Plus X Brighton.

As part of Plus X's #MoreThanADay campaign, Trailblazing Women In Film aims to give a platform to women in the industry to inspire, educate and connect with the next generation of filmmakers.

❇️ You'll have the chance to listen to and speak with inspiring female figures who have first hand experience of navigating the film and commercial world.

They'll be chatting about their journeys, their ups and downs and what it means to be a woman in the industry today, sharing tools and insight to help springboard your career.

There'll also be time to chat with industry peers and the speakers on a more personal level - so if you're looking for the co-writer or colourist for your next project, this is the perfect opportunity to swap skillsets, share challenges, get creative and network!

🎬 Early-career editors, sound recordists, gaffers, colourists, DOPs, producers, directors, writers... this one is for you.

This event is free but spaces are limited, so please ensure you register to secure your spot.
