CREATIVE PRODUCING MASTER CLASS SERIES:
PRODUCING FOR SCREEN AND SOCIETY
with award-winning Producer David Puttnam

"As intelligent and responsible filmmakers, working in a free society, we have a duty to ensure our chosen medium is a force 
for good. Especially in this ever-more complex and difficult world."
 David Puttnam

PRODUCING FOR SCREEN & SOCIETY is a Digital Master Class Series geared to developing and recalibrating creative resilience in every day producing matters for producers during these challenging times in a rapidly changing industry. The series is comprised of six sessions.

Renowned producer David Puttnam is the recipient of 10 Academy Awards, 25 BAFTAs, 10 Golden Globes, 9 Emmy Awards and the Palme d' Or, among many other awards.

Having produced 30 features (The Mission, Killing Fields, Local Hero, Cal, Chariots of Fire, Midnight Express) and documentaries, David brings his experience as an independent film-producer and long-time industry policy maker to each seminar. He uniquely bridges the gap between industry and education, understanding every aspect of what filmmakers need to achieve their goals.

In 2012 he founded Atticus Education, one of the first digital education firms providing master classes worldwide from his studio in Cork County, Ireland.

David’s twenty-four years as a member of the House of Lords, working on climate change legislation and probing the ethical implications of successive new technologies, provides a rare inter-disciplinary spirit in his lectures.
