The proposition:
Working for free is the only way for new entrants to get a foot in the door of the film and television industry but are you shooting yourself in the foot?
Jess Search from Shooting People and Martin Spence, assistant general secretary of BECTU, will be among the key speakers to address these issues. The event will take the form of a parliamentary-style debate with prearranged speakers setting out their point of view in support of, or in opposition to, the motion. The audience will be invited to participate throughout the debate. More details here.
