Research and Planning: Day Out

Today (19/10/12) I attended Screen Stockport Film Festival where I got to view short films made by university, college and school students. I found the films to be very diverse and very thought provoking.  The morning began with a presentation and discussion with IMDb Founder & CEO Col Needham, I found his story of how IMDb came about very interesting as the database grew as technology did and I was shocked at the high figures of people that access the site everyday, month and year. Then in the afternoon there was a 'Creative Opportunities in the North West' discussion with guest speakers; Helen Bullough, Danny Lacey and Dennis Keighron-Foster. These three people all participate in film and gave good advice in terms of how to get into the industry etc.
