News Image
Film Expo South is to bring together the "very best" in film making talent, to share their skills while collaborating with budding films makers and other professional.

The 2017 event, due to take place on 03 February, will features at least 30 Seminars and workshops covering a variety of topics to help filmmakers connect, educate new methods, industry updates, open doors to opportunities and bring more film productions to the South.

Last year the event attracted over 700 filmmakers, students and professionals alike, from the top to the bottom of the UK. Covering skills from Actors to Producers, Runners to Cameramen and Set Designers to Investors.

The competition is due to fire up again, as 2017 will see the return of "Pitch Factor" – where three scriptwriters will be chosen to have their short film made either in Hampshire, Sussex or Dorset.

In an official release about the event, Film Expo South said: "We are thrilled to be receiving such great support across the South with various film companies donating superb prizes to help make the 'Movie Magic' happen.

"H20 Films from Hampshire are donating 2 days of camera equipment and studios time with TNT Sussex donating their film studios and sets for 2 days.

"In Dorset they've upped the anti with Julie Dunne covering Casting, Edd Maggs Editing, and Image Republic donating their studios for 2 days. The Pitch Factor moves onto The Battle of the Counties!" Film Expo South is here to "Make it Happen" – for you!"

Registration opens at 9:00am, the exhibition closes at 17:00pm, seminars finish at 19:00pm and there will be entertainment until 23:00pm. Tickets for the day are available from £30 per person (£20 for students).
