About this Event
This week we will be in conversation with freelance editorial and programming consultant, Lynn Nwokorie, who will offer advice on how best to apply for film grants.
About Lynn
Starting out in production for feature film, commercials and museum projects in both the US and UK, Lynn has since worked across exhibition and distribution for various national festivals and organisations including the BFI London Film Festival, Sheffield Doc/Fest, the British Film Institute and the Independent Cinema Office.
For three years at Doc Society, Lynn focused on cultivating socially impactful documentary filmmaking at the London and New York-based Doc Society Foundation. Formerly Fund Officer for the BFI Doc Society Fund – the UK’s national fund documentary filmmaking – Lynn now focuses on developing and supporting filmmakers and content creators globally (Doc Society, London Film Festival, Sundance and IFP to name a few) as well as continuing programming for festivals and special events.
Event format
Following Lynn’s talk there will be a Q&A with a chance for questions from attendees.
Following the public event, attendees have the option to enter into Breakout Rooms for informal networking, with a maximum of six people per room.
We plan to dedicate one Breakout Room for a discussion with Lynn restricted to six attendees on a first come, first served basis. If you’d like to ask questions in this more informal setting, please email info@scottishdocinstitute.com with brief details of what you’d like to discuss and we’ll organise this during the event.
