Like most live events and awards ceremonies in 2020, BAFTA’s annual Guru Live will be turning virtual. Through a series of Zoom webinars, BAFTA has created a line-up of Q&A events, free to the public.
Guru Live is a must-watch for those getting started in the industry. Catering to those with few credits or none, BAFTA’s events cover informative and entertaining aspects of film, games and television productions with a behind the scenes approach.
This year, Mad Dog 2020 Casting is sponsoring the BAFTA Guru Live session: Climate Crisis to Climate Action on Screen. Focusing on reducing the industry’s impact on the environment, the session will discuss the climate context. In conclusion, the session will showcase a live discussion with industry experts. Call the Midwife and A Discovery of Witches writer, Lisa Holdsworth and Aaron Matthews, Head of Industry Sustainability at Albert taking part.
No stranger to working with Albert-Accredited projects, Mad Dog 2020 Casting is currently working on green productions which have resumed amid Covid-19 regulations. Mad Dog 2020 Casting champions sustainability in the industry, being one of the first background agencies to adopt the use of online chits with the easy to use ChitsApp.
“As official TV Craft partner, Mad Dog 2020 Casting has been working closely with BAFTA throughout 2020. We continue to champion the Television industry when it’s needed most. Therefore, the importance of supporting home-grown talent at all levels is vital to our organisation. Mad Dog 2020 Casting is thrilled Guru Live is going virtual this year.”
– CEO of Mad Dog 2020 Casting, Graham Beswick
