Wales’ creative scene is coming together. Meet the talent. Meet the industry. Make connections. See what happens next.

Whether you’re just starting out, looking for your next opportunity, or have been working in the creative industry for years, Black Swan Productions invites you to join us for an evening of drinks, conversations and new connections.

Come and meet actors, performers, writers, filmmakers, producers, directors, crew and creative entrepreneurs from across Wales, including people you might not otherwise get the chance to meet.

There’ll be good conversations, honest stories, new faces and plenty of opportunities to talk about what you’re working on, what you want to do next and where you’d like to go.

We’ll also be sharing more about Black Swan Verticals, hearing about the projects and ideas happening across the room, and looking to connect with on-screen talent and production crew for future projects.
