Channel 4, in partnership with the West of England HETV Workforce Development Programme and RTS West of England talent networks, presents 4Connect – a unique virtual networking opportunity designed to connect under-represented off-screen talent with independent production companies specializing in scripted drama and comedy.

It will be on 31st July from 5pm-6:30pm on Zoom.

There will be a short pre-meet on Monday 29th at 12pm-12:20pm on Zoom just to run through how the session will go and answer any questions.

Focusing on South-West and Wales based production and editorial talent from mid and senior level working in scripted television.

There are only a small number of spaces in the session so we cannot guarantee that your expression of interest will lead to a place at the event, however we will follow up to everyone with an invitation to sign up to the Channel 4 South West regional talent database.

Whilst there is no guarantee that you will secure a contract through this event, this is a great opportunity for indies and talent to meet and get to know each other in general, and for us all to brush up on our networking skills.

In your email, please let us know:

- Whether you are interested in drama, comedy, or more than one
- Your job role/profession/(level of seniority)
- Your location base

Please also submit some information about your brilliant selves to spark conversation with the indies – e.g. your CV, the last 3 projects you worked on, a link to your work, or TV shows you’d love to work on and why. This can be submitted in whatever format you fancy – written, video etc.
