AGEAS BOWL, SOUTHAMPTON
THURSDAY 4TH FEBRUARY
They say every one has a book in them. But what if that book in your head should really be a film? And then what if you've worked out exactly where the film should be set, who should play the leading parts and you're already thinking of calling Adele to record the theme song?
Well, you'd probably be wise to get yourself along to FILM EXPO SOUTH, launching at the AGEAS Bowl conference centre on February 4th 2016. They can't promise to get you Adele's phone number but they can get you in front of film making experts to cover every angle, turning your film making dreams into a reality.
