Sequel to Cannes, THE networking party/event in the SW, is running again this Thurday – I’ll be there, so will Sir Daniel: will you? You definitely should, if the programme of events is anything to go by – this year even includes a NEW SCRIPTWRITING CONTEST! You’d be MAD to miss it. See you there!!!

If you’re going, leave a message in the comments or tweet me: let’s network, dah-links! ; )
It's in the SW – SOUTH WEST (UK): precisely, Poole, Dorset, at the RNLI centre. It's all on the website. But I'll update as well on this post in case anyone else finds confusing x
Apologies. Just realised being held in Poole (read the other blog).
Is there a chance there will be a similar event being held near London way? I'm trying to get a short film together, and this event seemed like the ideal place to network.
Thanks.
Doubtful I should think – the event is sponsored by SW Media peeps and arranged by the lovely local Rosie Jones! Plus London does have lots of networking events – are you a member of Shooting People, Talent Circle, Icewhole etc? They often advertise networking events on those sites. Hope that helps!
Many thanks. I have been a member to all three at various points, but financial whatnots and my day job have split my time. But thanks again.
I'll be there too! Jeez!
