About the day
Do you have a passion for science and the natural world alongside a love of storytelling? If so, we would love you to join us for this FREE day of talks and workshops highlighting how you can document the way we interact with the world, and help to bring together the stories that need to be told.
Hearing from, and working with, industry professionals and students from the MA Directing and Producing Science and Natural History course, we hope to inspire you to discover more about this exciting career and leave with the knowledge and tools to potentially be part of the future of this wonderful genre of the Film and TV industry.
