On the final day of the course, participants will attend Power to the Pixel: a one-day Digital Distribution Forum that connects the UK film industry with key innovators of the digital revolution from around the world.
Think-Shoot-Distribute takes place at The Hospital, the state-of-the-art members' club in London. Participants also receive Associate Delegate status to The Times BFI London Film Festival and membership of The Hospital for the duration of the programme.
