Catch up on our Commissioner Webinar with Anne Mensah

Pact Export Accelerator has partnered up with Edinburgh International TV Festival this year, and as part of our collaboration we have launched a mini-series of commissioner webinars.

These webinars give a flavour of some of the key decision makers who will be attending Edinburgh TV Festival in 2016 and are free and open to all UK producers (not just Pact members). We are also encouraging all indies to get involved with Pact Export Accelerator, a series of high-end workshops taking place across the UK designed to help hundreds of indies double their export revenue by 2020 and create a robust export strategy for the future.

Indies should sign up to the Pact Export Pledge to gain access to a range of support and benefits, as well as regular Pact Export Accelerator updates and opportunities.

On Wednesday 27th July we hosted a webinar with Sky's Anne Mensah. Anne was appointed Head of Drama for Sky in 2011. Over the past five years, she has led the growth of original drama on Sky including the critically acclaimed Enfield Haunting, Fortitude starring Michael Gambon, Stanley Tucci and Sophie Grabol, The Last Panthers, and Stan Lee’s Lucky Man starring James Nesbitt, which is Sky 1’s highest rated original drama ever. Upcoming original dramas airing on Sky include Guerrilla, written, executive produced and directed by Academy award winner John Ridley, Tin Star starring Tim Roth and Christina Hendricks, and Delicious starring Dawn French.

If you missed the session and would like to catch up, you can now view the recording here.
