In this session Philip Trethowan and Ben Bickerton from Blacklight will tell you about this prestigious initiative and Samantha O'Rourke and Nadira Amrani will be on hand to talk about the film they made, Mincemeat, and what it was like to be a part of the 4Stories experience. 

Join us for a behind the scenes look at how this show became E4’s biggest hit, how the format was tweaked for a youth skewing audience, and what skills and experience it takes to be part of the production team.

We talk about networking but do we prioritise it? Does it come naturally to you or are you a bit intimidated? Is it time for you to reach out? 

Meet 3 of the best in the business - brilliant networkers whose work relies on their ability to build relationships across the industry.

From Grayson Perry to the Proms on the PSBs, to dedicated services such as Sky Arts and Marquee TV, the viewer has never had so much choice of arts on television.   

In this session we meet some of the key decision makers and ask how they decide what we see, how they commission, what the future holds and how you can pitch to them.
