For the afternoon session of day 3 at the BNMI's interactive screen 0.5 we could choose between a serie of workshops on various topics such as law, finance and production.
I opted to attend the panel on how to produce with BNMI hosted by Slavica Ceperkovic, Co-Production Production Coordinator, and Brendan French, Co-Production Assistant.
The BNMI has various programs available to assist artists, developers and producers create and develop a project.
Here's a list of the many ways the centre can help you:
- BNMI offers co-production and research partnership programs

- Deilvering business skills enhancement workshops and seminars.
- Provide prototyping, testing, and product co-development services
