Directing Masterclass at Creative Week

What does it take to forge a successful career as a director? That's a question that will be answered at this year's Creative Summit, part of Creative Week, which kicks off on June 1.

Another Film Company's Olly Williams [above], the director behind the recent B&Q campaigns, a David Soul-starring spot for National Express, as well as work for Doritos and Weetabix, will be joined by the director of Strictly Come Dancing, Nikki Parsons [below], and James Strong [bottom], the director of the award-winning TV show, Broadchurch for the Sense of Direction panel.

The panel will be examining the skills required to be a successful director, the decisions that must be made throughout the creative process in order to weave together a cohesive narrative. They will also discuss how a story is put together, and the difference between working as an autonomous director and being brought into the creative process later. 

Along with the Sense of Direction panel discussion, the Creative Summit day of Creative Week will also include a presentation from BBH co-founder and founder of incuabator company The Garage Soho, Sir John Hegarty [below].

There is also a key note speech from president of the Royal Television Society and chair of Arts Council England, Sir Peter Bazalgette, as well as insight from head of futures at Havas Media Labs, Amy Kean and an interview with BAFTA-winning Boyhood producer Jonathan Sehring.
