The gift that keeps on giving
A month has passed since the London Screenwriters' Festival extravaganza took place over the course of three days at Regent's College. We've all moved on, either back into our caves to work on scripts or back to hunting the next (or first) screenwriting gig. But for all of us, the LSF still reverberates.
If you were there, you'll know why. The gangbusting team of organizers, led by David Chamberlain and Chris Jones, created (among so much else) a private online Facebook-style network for delegates and speakers only. This gave all of us, pre-festival, a chance to exchange and get to know each other. By the time the conference came around, I walked in and recognized half the people there - brilliant!
To get a glimpse of the LSF 3-day-non-stop action, check out these video clips: Day One, Day Two, Day Three.
But equally brilliant is the value of this private network post-festival. During the three days, the hundreds of delegates obviously couldn't attend all the sessions because of overlaps and often simply because sessions were jam packed. So the decision was made to film the sessions and now, one by one, these sessions appear on the private delegates network. It's the Festival that keeps on giving!
So if you have been part of the LSF, you're still enjoying the spoils. And if you weren't there, I can only suggest that you make it in 2011 - so you, too, will be part of the next Delegates Private Network!
