I’m delighted to be able to share with you the second series of Pact 10x10. We continue with the same approach as before, offering you information and insights through an easy to consume format of 10 top tips delivered in just 10 minutes.

Series 2 hones in on ‘winning a commission’, though not all of the content is limited to that theme. We’ve gathered a wonderful group of industry leaders who have shared their experiences and invaluable knowledge, so there’s something for everyone.

Episodes include former BBC Commissioning Editor, Emily Smith on creating attention-grabbing sizzle reels; Waddell Media MD and Executive Producer, Janine Waddell MBE on how to build a development team; and Stellify Media’s Founder, CEO and Executive Producer, Kieran Doherty on how to ace pitching.

Other topics covered include defining your indie’s culture with Baby Cow COO, Asha Amster; managing cashflow with Boom COO, Mark Fenwick; approaches to sustainability with albert’s Sustainable Production Administrator, Charlotte Westlake; developing one-off/single ideas with Heroes Productions Producer, Thomasina Gibson; how to form an adaptive and sustainable indie with Sea & Sky Pictures Director, Adam Bouabda; how to manage insurance with Tysers Director, Paul Hillier; and what to think about in relation to rights and music with The Nerve Co-Founder, Juliette Squair.

I hope you find the tips useful and informative, and I welcome any feedback, thoughts and ideas you have, so that we can refine and expand our offer in future series where we will be focusing on tips for operating and growing an indie.

As well as the 10x10 series, we are continuously updating the Pact Growth Accelerator with all kinds of new content, so make sure you keep visiting regularly to make the most of this free and expansive resource designed specifically for Pact Members.
