Fancy meeting the Exec Producer of Sense8 and a producer who’s worked with The Weinstein’s?
Yes?!! We thought you might say that. So you can imagine we are thrilled to welcome Leon Clarence and Jay Taylor to do just that. They’ll be joining us to talk about all things producing, casting, budgets and more in the film and television industry.
It wouldn’t be a complete night unless we were at our favourite venue Gerry’s Club, so you can catch us there on May 3rd. And here’s a little more about our speakers:
Leon Clarance Exec Produced the hit show Sense8, The After, and ATM among others, and has a number of TV series and projects in development and filming. He is the CEO of Motion Picture Capital Limited, a UK based specialty financier of filmed entertainment, and subsidiary of Reliance Big Entertainment. Other Reliance companies include IM Global and DreamWorks Studios.

MEMBERS NOTICES:
Support our member Adam Spinks‘ newest short film project Spaceman. They still have 7 days left where you can help. The film is a Science-Fiction drama about a young boy who finds out that the whole world is in danger from an asteroid impact and how he decides to work on something a little bit out of the box in order to save his family… It’s both a continuation of a visual style they’ve developed but also something new, exciting and bold.
Please check out their Kickstarter page and the ways you can help them realise their dream.
