Web Series Panel
followed by Competition Entry screenings.

In a first for Raindance, we will be introducing the concept of original web series and why we think more UK filmmakers should be looking at this new genre of filmmaking; how storytelling differs from shorts, films and television; how web series can potentially earn money; and, why advertising brands are looking at investing in your web series ideas.

This session will also see the 6 shortlisted finalists in the Raindance Web Series Pilot Competition which are:

Guilt
After The Bomb
Blue Steel
The Vessel
The DreamWalker
Noel's Goal
