Dynamic indie writer, director and actor Jim Cummings will be chatting to Rowan Woods (Film Programme Manager at the British Council) for our next #Shortitout Filmmaker Front Room Q&A.
We'll be catching up with Jim about his career in film, from bursting onto the film scene with his one-shot short Thunder Road in 2016 (which was also voted one of the best short films ever made by Indiewire) to winning the Grand Jury Prize award at SXSW for a feature length film with the same name in 2018. Jim will talk us through his whirlwind experience and what it has taught him about making the most out of opportunities, not letting money hold you back and keeping motivated. We’ll also be chatting to Jim about his new upcoming releases and sharing advice for filmmakers who are starting out or looking to move forward in their career.
Presented by BFI NETWORK, Encounters Film Festival and Watershed, with partners including BAFTA and Channel 4.
