What You Need in Your Production Toolkit

TUESDAY 7 JULY | 11.00-11.45 | STREAMED LIVE

Whilst life is seemingly on pause in lockdown, we are all stuck at home and watching more telly than ever before. But what are the realities of making TV in lockdown? And what shows will we be escaping to over the course of the next year?
Producers break down the realities of making new shows during this time, talk about their survival kits for lockdown life, and their tips on how to adapt as we re-shape the industry, against the odds.

Featuring:
Lindsey Clay, CEO Thinkbox
Gok Wan MBE, fashion stylist, award-winning TV presenter & author
Camilla Lewis, CEO and co-founder, Curve Media
Sohail Shah, Managing Director, King of Sunshine Productions
