The not-so-speedy speed-dating event where queer filmmakers get the chance to meet like-minded creatives and potentially their next collaborators. Join us for our facilitated networking event where we curate a series of 10-minute round tables, with an MC to help spark conversation. Sign up in advance to let us know what types of creatives you’re hoping to connect with and we’ll seat you at tables with potential matches. Walk-ins are welcome (but you’ll be allocated seats based on availability rather than suitability). Please arrive 15 mins in advance so we can start promptly at 2:30pm.
