GoodBadMadness: A Festival Of New Creative Talent

A festival of new, creative talent: what GOODBADMADNESS is all about!

The entertainment industry is a difficult beast to conquer at the best of times. But during and post-pandemic, it's a whole other game. Creative grads across the country have missed out on their showcasing opportunities, which usually connect them with established industry professionals.

In short, it's been pretty sh*t for those starting out in the industry...there's no point beating around the bush. We've spent over a year talking about the struggles and issues, now we think it's time to DO something about it.

So, we've developed GOODBADMADNESS: A FESTIVAL OF NEW TALENT to provide opportunity, inspiration, and resources to help the young creative generation.

We're creating a ALL DAY FESTIVAL that will:

• Support creative grads and others whose opportunities were stifled by the pandemic.
• Provide a platform for new talent
• Connect aspirational creatives with industry professionals
• Provide informative and helpful career advice
• Inspire young creatives to create their own work
• Create a space for young creatives to connect, learn and showcase their talent, twisting old-school networking GoodBadMad style!

What to expect:

• Panels
• Performances
• Screenings
• Mentoring 1-1 sessions
• Talks
• Stalls/Pop-ups
• Pitch competition
• Networking
• Party!

Industry Professionals attending the event to support young creatives include:

• Forbes 30 Under 30 Honoree Ella Greenwood's 'Broken Flames Productions'
• Hartshorn-Hook Productions
• Masterclass
• Theatrecraft
• Female Film Club
• Zyrenka Cox : Casting Director
• Steve Davies : Casting Director
• Art Depot

And more to be announced!
