On the eve of the fourth day of exposures, we have already seen some fantastic guests appearing at our range of events; from Shameless writers Tom Higgins, Sarah Hooper & Jimmy Dowdal to Dragon’s Den Executive Producer Dominic Bird and Propeller TV‘s Managing Director Carole Dove. However, this was only the beginning! The next two days of the festival are jam packed with rare opportunities to meet people already working in the industry, offering you the chance to hear first hand what it is really like, how to get involved and ask all your burning questions.
