Sargent-Disc to Attend Triforce Short Film Festival

We are thrilled to announce our involvement in the 6^th annual Triforce Short Film Festival on Saturday 2^nd December at Bafta, 195 Piccadilly. Sargent-Disc will host and participate in a CrewStart™ workshop, as well as contribute to a finance seminar later the same morning. Read on for full details of each seminar and information on how to book tickets.

CrewStart™ Workshop:

11:30 - 12:30

Dr. Laurence Sargent, Director of Sargent-Disc, will chair a workshop which will enhance attendees' understanding and ability to organise and approve contracts for crew and artists. The workshop will brief participants on the need for, and the application of contracts, discuss and introduce standard crew contracts and presents CrewStart™ - the cloud based Digital Production Office ® contracting application from Sargent-Disc.

The freelance nature of the film industry can make organising standard crew and talent contracts a time consuming task for small productions. If you're working on your first feature, or a funded short film, this workshop will help you understand the importance of contracting. It will explore how to manage the contract process easily to protect your production and ensure you are compliant with UK legislation - helping to secure funding and the UK film tax credit. All your questions about contracts will be answered in this one hour session.

The panel will include:

• Chair: Dr. Laurence Sargent, Director (Sargent-Disc Ltd.)
• Seth Roe, Employment Lawyer (Wiggin LLP)
• Alasdair Wilson, Product Manager (Sargent-Disc Ltd.)
• Nick O'Hagan, Producer (Giant Films)
