The best part is everyone chatting together and sharing their own experiences as an extra and ideas and opinions on different aspects of the industry.

I will also have some special guest speakers to share their roles in the industry and also help provide answers to any questions talent might have.

Light refreshments will be provided for morning tea.

We love what we do and really excited for this opportunity to not only teach talent inside tricks to the industry – but also meet some new faces.
