One-on-One sessions with Julie Ryan, Cyan Films

As screen industry professionals, getting quality time with investors, producers and distributors usually means traveling to the other side of the country, shelling out hundreds - if not thousands - of dollars on conference registrations and accommodation and trying to grab what time you can when you can.

Well, this year at Rev, we’ve done our bit to lighten that load and provide the opportunity for local writers, directors, producers and screen artists to spend time with some people who are looking for works to produce and meet locals.

On Thursday and Friday festival guest Julie Ryan, from Cyan Films, will be available for 20-minute meetings to discuss your project, strategy or progress in getting your work to the screen.
