On Wednesday 8th of March, International Women’s Day will celebrate the 2017 #BeBoldForChange campaign. The Mill will be hosting an evening panel discussion at their Windmill Street studio in support.
The annual calendar date aims to highlight how, with meaningful celebration and targeted bold action, everyone can be responsible for creating a more gender inclusive world. This year’s #BeBoldForChange campaign hopes to inspire people from all walks of life and from all over the world to join forces to help raise awareness and drive greater change for women.
The Mill’s evening panel event will be hosted in collaboration with Animated Women UK, and invites attendees to take part in an important and stirring debate with other key representatives from across the industry.
Structured in three main parts, the evening will begin with a panel session, chaired by The Mill’s Group Head of Talent - Claire Anderson, later rounding off with a Q&A session, before attendees are given the opportunity to partake in a series of drop in sessions with key industry talent recruiters. The sessions will be followed by drinks in The Loft Bar.
The panel will be made up of eight female ambassadors in various roles within the industry including; Digital Artist Bimpe Allen from ILM, Producer Noga Alon-stein from Union Films, VFX Supervisor and Head of 2D Sara Bennett from Milk, Motion Designer and Co-Founder Allison Brownmoore from Blue Spill, Graphic R&D Designer Sarah Invernizzi from Framestore, VFX Artist Ceylan Shevket from MPC, and Mill 3D Artist Marta Carbonell Amela.
