Rethinking Production: What’s Worth Trying?

Where could new technology make a worthwhile difference to the way you make films?
Perhaps there is a task you would happily stop doing manually, a tool that never quite fits your workflow, or something you would like to do that current solutions don’t allow. Exploring a new approach could be worthwhile — if there is a practical way to try it.
This roundtable invites producers, production companies, studios and post-production professionals to discuss where new technology could make a worthwhile difference to their work and what would make a new solution worth testing. It is an opportunity to discuss your own priorities, hear how others approach similar challenges, and help shape collaborations around the way your team works.
We will look at what a useful pilot could offer your company: a chance to assess a solution against a real need, give feedback while it is still being developed, and find out whether it deserves a place in your workflow. Pre-production, planning and administration are some possible starting points; the discussion is open to needs across the filmmaking process.
What would you want to try? What would make the time spent worthwhile? And what would you need from a tech partner to make a first test manageable?
Bring a recurring challenge, an idea, or an experience of trying something new. Together, we will explore where there is interest in future pilots and what would make them work for both sides. Taking part does not commit you to testing a solution.
