Join Charlotte Knowles, Founder of CreativeHQ, in this dynamic and practical webinar.

Presented by the Film Skills Fund, the session aims to help film producers turn creative passion into sustainable business.  This masterclass is designed specifically for creative media producers who want to restructure their production companies for long-term financial stability.

Drawing on deep experience working with production companies across the UK, Charlotte breaks down the barriers many producers face: inconsistent income, burnout, overreliance on short-term commissions, and the challenge of transitioning from a freelance mindset to a business-building one.

This session is supported by the ScreenSkills Film Skills Fund with contributions from UK film productions.
