Max Howard |
Max will be talking to our students about how independent films get made. In particular, how do independent film-makers pitch their projects, and how do you raise the finance to get your project into theatres?
Here at Bucks we teach students animation, and (of course) all the skills needed to find work as professional digital artists. But beyond the technical training that we offer lies a whole world of creation and invention, that can lead to a successful career in the most interesting and potentially lucrative part of show business - the successful creation and marketing of fresh content.
Max will talk about where great ideas come from, and how they can be developed into something that connects with audiences all over the world. With new digital media and open platforms like YouTube changing the way that films are created and marketed, the opportunities for independent film-makers with a big vision have never been greater than they are today.
Here at Bucks we are looking forward to Max's visit and can't wait to hear what he has to say.
