King Alfred School hosted a panel titled “Inside the Industry: Working in Film” as part of their Connections Series. Director Sonita Gale participated in the event, to share her thoughts on working in the industry to an audience of students, teachers and alumni.
The panel included some fantastic speakers, such as Teddy Leifer, Award-winning film and TV producer; David Arnold, Award-winning film and television composer; Miranda Bowen, Award-winning writer; and Clemente Lohr, Award-winning writer and director.
To summarise the event from the organisers:
“From first jobs to big breaks, they offered up a roadmap for navigating the twists and turns of an industry that’s anything but predictable. The real magic, though, happened when the audience stepped up to the mic for the Q&A—asking questions, sparking conversations, and reminding us all that there’s no one way to make it in film. It’s about passion, persistence, and a little bit of luck.”
We’re happy to have had the opportunity to speak to the next generation of talented filmmakers, and can’t wait to see what the future holds.
