Want to learn the best way to handle contributors? When you can secretly film? How to film safely with criminals? How to film an entertainment set-up? Or what’s different when filming with children and vulnerable adults?
They’re just some of the many areas this session will be looking at. This is all about empowering independent producers by giving them a through grounding in ethics and best practice. If you’re expecting to be talked at all day, you’ll be disappointed.
This lively, thought-provoking and interactive event will includes discussion of real-life case studies, entertaining debates, a mock cross-examination of commissioning editors by a leading media barrister and plenty of audience participation. Don’t miss the chance to hear from leading programme-makers, senior commissioning editors and programme lawyers. In other words, it’s full of the practical information that all independent producers need to know.

For staff and freelancers from researcher level up to series producer, across every programme genre.
It’s completely free of charge and each delegate gets a copy of the Channel 4 Independent Producers Handbook.
All you have to do is nominate up to eight people from your company to attend. It will fill up quickly so don’t hang about.
