Producers are the life blood of film and TV they are often the instigators of new projects and they literally 'keep the show on the road'. At S.O.U.L.Fest we have committed to nurturing producers as a key way to support on screen creativity among Black British filmmakers. To this end our founding sponsor Sony Pictures UK is supporting us to bring you insight and experience, the sort that is typically only hard won from a long career in film and TV, to inspire you to build your own  fantastic production houses and create the compelling content of tomorrow.

Guiding us along this journey are:

Nisha Parti - (Founder, Parti Productions)

Eve Gutierrez - (EP, Eleventh Hour Films)

Sunil Patel - (Founder and CEO, The Whisper Group)

Brett King - (VP Creative Programming, D&I, Sony Pictures Entertainment)

Chairing the session is:

Hannah Smith - (VP International TV Production Ops, Sony Pictures Television)

This session is a unique insight into what it really takes to build, and crucially maintain a world class production film and TV business.
