Producing for international audiences: a Creative Europe session with Mike Day
Film City Glasgow, 401 Govan Road G51 2QJT
Join Creative Europe Desk UK-Scotland for a discussion with Mike Day, director and producer of the documentary The Island and the Whales, currently nominated for a Scottish BAFTA and supported through the previous MEDIA programme's Development scheme.
Mike Day will discuss the documentary’s journey from the early stages of development, including how the financing was put together, the MEDIA application and getting the film into production, through to taking it to international audiences (and even picking up international awards at festivals like Toronto’s Hot Docs).
We’ll also hear from Flore Cosquer from the Scottish Documentary Institute about the Creative Europe-funded training and markets open to producers, and Kate Deans from Creative Europe Desk UK-Scotland will talk through the funding opportunities available to producers through the MEDIA sub-programme.
This event is open to producers and other filmmakers interested in developing international work and attendees are warmly invited to stay for conversations over drinks at the end.
