PRACTICAL WORKSHOPS ABOUT MAKING GREAT TELEVISION
FactualWEST is a one-of-a-kind, two day conference for mid-career and senior creators, producers and crew working in factual, lifestyle, reality and documentary television. We bring together top showrunners, broadcasters, creators and producers for a day of workshops designed to help you increase your skills, learn practical tips and get useful insights you can use move your career and your projects forward.
FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CARE ABOUT & stay ahead of the curve
Our sessions are streamed so you can focus on developing the skills you care about most: Storytelling, Producing, Field Skills, Post-Production and Development. Each stream offers a number of practical sessions with top talent. We’re also bringing in creators and producers who are making shows for Netflix and other digital channels to share their ideas on new ways of doing things.
