Want to be a filmmaker? As part of Dazed Academy’s Making It Up As We Go Along programme, Nowness commissioner and Sundance programmer Katie Metcalfe and Nowness video commissioner Shelley Jones will be joined by filmmakers Fenn O'Meally and Jabu Nadia Newman to discuss bringing your films to life.
Taking place June 16, the group will share tips on what makes your treatment stand out and how to tell your own stories authentically using moving image. They’ll take your questions on pitching and being published, providing resources for budding filmmakers hoping to break into the industry, and any other burning questions. Sign up here.
Both O’Meally and Newman have worked with Nowness on a number of projects, including O’Meally’s music video for Texas and the Wu-Tang Clan and a Kai-Isaiah Jamal-starring video for Byredo’s Mixed Emotions fragrance. Newman’s projects include the short films Dirty Laundry and No Direct Flight: The Dream That Refused Me.
Sign up to ‘How to get your films made and seen’ here, and familiarise yourself with O’Meally and Newman’s films below.
