Your Stage : Southampton Film Expo by Gillian Tully

Gillian Tully

Southampton Film Expo

Hi Fellow Filmakers, I'm holding a Film Expo in Southampton, UK and launching on 4th February 2016. I've got some great speakers on board already and I'd like to include a talk on Crowd Funding. Can anyone recommend a speaker who has cracked the crowd funding platform who could share their experience and cover a Q&A? I am already speaking to some experts but always good to open up the net. Glad to hear Stage32 are going to Cannes, but don't forget the invite to Southampton Film Expo, Richard Botto..........It would be great to have you on board, nothing like a bit of collaboration. :-) :-) Best wishes Gilly x Actress / Filmmaker / and now CEO and Founder of Southampton Film Expo

Hi Gillian, re Film Expo in Southampton, you could try Chris Jones. He is the founder and creative director of the London Screenwriters' Festival. He is also the author of the Guerilla Film makers handbook. He is an inspirational speaker and a really nice approachable guy. You can check out the London Screenwriters' Festival on: www.londonSWF.com or email him on: chris@swf.com Mention my name - he probably won't know who you're talking about - but we have been in correspondence over the years. Hope this helps. Rita

Hi Rita, Thanks - he was on my list to connect on Linkedin - so I've struck whilst the iron is hot!! I'm also trying to get hold of Elliot Grove to talk at the event so any connections there?? Cheeky I know - but it's great to collaborate. :-) We will also be holding a competition to fund a short film at the event - working on the website at this minute and will let you know when we've got it up and running. Just connected on Linkedin so will let you know when I am in the area as it will be great to meet up - Stage32 DOING WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN!! Cheers Gilly x

Hi Gilly, I can't help you with Elliot, but I am sure if you contact him he'll get back to you promptly. Yes, if you would let me know about the competition to fund a short film, I know quite a few writers and can pass it on to them. Best wishes Rita

Hi Gilly, Chris has said he's interested - so over to you! Rita
