This year with Action On The Side, I have started to run monthly webinars.
February 2026
I spoke with Producer and renown Horror actress Ayvianna Snow, about her roles, activism, and challenges that actors face. Some of the stories were shocking!
This was the first webinar – and unfortunately I didn’t realise the slides were what was being recorded, so it turned into a podcast! You always learn by doing, so I improved this for the next one.
March 2026
Please enjoy the full video. We had a panel of 7 judges and organisers for independent film festivals.
We had representatives from Ealing Film Festival, International Film Festival of the Hague, Membrana Film Festival, Native Spirit, Aravali International Film Festival, Bournemouth International Film Festival, and more.
Topics included funding, FilmFreeway, festival strategy, and what filmmakers can do to stand out. There was a call to give filmmakers feedback, especially if they’re not selected.
I planned a webinar for April to focus on Film Festival strategy, but I didn’t have time to promote it, so it didn’t go ahead.
Join us for the next webinar
The next webinar is on Thursday 28th May. I’m speaking to three Comic Book writers about their work. Join us for free at this link here.
I’m quite behind with promotion, but we have a good panel. Craig Connolly, Bruno Catarino, and Jay Wong will each be speaking about what they do, how they got into comic books, and giving advice for fellow writers.
