Crossing the Void: Bringing TV and New Media Indies Together January 28, 2008

Crossing the Void will explore the changing commissioning landscape by bringing TV and new media indies together to discuss collaborative opportunities

Elaine Pyke (Commissioning Editor) and Giles Pooley (Senior New Media Producer) from SkyOne Drama will tell the story of how their BAFTA Interactivity Award-winning production The Hogfather came to be

Matt Locke (Commissioning Editor, Education, C4), Lisa Sargood (Commissioner, Factual, BBC) and Nicole Yershon (Director, Innovative Solutions, Ogilvy) dissect and discuss three failed pitches to illustrate how to navigate the complicated mediascape and to turn ideas into cash

Full programme of speakers is available here: www.swscreen.co.uk/News/235.aspx

Delegates will also have opportunities for intimate conversations with commissioners, pitching at ‘Quickfire’, networking with potential collaborators and meeting the region’s most talented TV and New Media Indies
