EMERGE FILM NETWORKING SYDNEY is a series of events for emerging filmmakers to come together, learn from a no BS panel and Q&A session and meet like minded filmmakers at their specific level. So far seven events have been held, tailored to: Directors, Producers, Animators, Cinematographers and Short Filmmakers and more. We thank our supporters and sponsors, including City of Sydney, Matchbox NBCU, Lingo Pictures, Camera Hire, RØDE and Galvaniize Insurance. Season 1 of EMERGE was co-produced by Bea Barbeau-Scurla.

“This has to keep going. There is
such a clear gap in the industry
that this fills.”
“It was great to hear and share experiences and learn that there is a similarity in people's experience, which isn't something at the forefront of day-to-day work in the industry.”
“I connected  with people I had heard about but not met in person! Emerge was truly a portal that enabled people to turn 2 degrees+ of separation with other filmmakers into immediate  connections.”
 
“The opportunity to meet other creatives… The seed networking is great for shy people like myself.” 
“It was a much-needed event for emerging filmmakers in Sydney. I loved that it was in-person.”
“Everyone felt like they had permission to 'network' and talk about their work in a casual, low stakes environment.”
