Digital Orchard Foundation is bringing back its Talent Bar at the BSC Expo this April.

We are looking for individuals who can join us at the event and talk with people facing barriers or challenges in their careers, sharing your expertise and advice.
 
The Talent Bar is a welcoming space for new and established filmmakers, designed to help talent move forward in camera and post production - no matter their gender, race or background or their career stage. The Talent Bar aims to help people make connections via pre-arranged one-to-one meetings and on-site resources, creating real work opportunities and lasting positive change in the industry.
 
Our partners this year include British Cinematographer Magazine, 6Ft From The Spotlight, BEAM and Women Behind the Camera, with many others to be announced shortly.
 
PICK DATES & TIMES TO SUIT YOU:  

Friday 8^th April, 10am - 6pm  and/or  Saturday 9^th April, 10am - 5pm.
 
Each session is one-hour, hosting 2 meetings per session.

(Please note some online sessions can be arranged, should you be unable to offer time at the Expo itself.)

HOW IT WORKS:

Digital Orchard Foundation will match you with individuals based on your knowledge and expertise against their requirements. 
 
Advisors will be given a clear briefing about those they are meeting at the Talent Bar and the expectations of the discussion. Advisors are asked to fully prepare for meetings by reviewing participants CVs and briefing notes in advance, and being open to arranging follow up actions or meetings to really help these individuals make connections and secure a new opportunity.
 
(Please note this event is an in-person event. Covid-19 safety measures will be put in place as per the government guidance at the time. If there are any restrictions to in-person events the meetings will take place online instead.)
