"The festival was a big rush of excitement (mixed with a little anxiety!) but for the most part a profound and positively challenging experience."
"Ones to Watch was a total career gamechanger for me. It gave me unbelievable access to the biggest players in the industry, paired me with a top-tier, hands-on mentor who genuinely cared about my ambitions and was on hand to answer any questions I had."
"Really feel like I met some amazing people and formed some incredible professional and personal relationships that have helped and continue to help me in my career."
"Ones to Watch helped me grow my confidence, my network and my industry knowledge – all of which I carried through to my work as a producer."
"I knew that all thirty of us would most likely play a huge part in transforming this industry as we all knew it."
"Ones To Watch equipped me to far better navigate the industry while still being myself."
"It was great to see heads of channels be so unguarded in the private sessions for Ones To Watch – they really opened up to us and didn’t use the usual ‘telly speak’."
"Every single person I met had the ability to advance my career. And every single person I met took the time to offer me advice and encouragement."
