21st June 2018

Throughout this week we have hosted the Inside Pictures Class of 2018 at Lee & Thompson, where the hand picked group of international film industry execs from 12 different countries spent an intense week on Module 1 of the  prestigious film business training and leadership programme.

Lee & Thompson is a long term and committed supporter of Inside Pictures and we are proud that our very own Head of Film, Christos Michaels is one of the esteemed group of alumni of the programme, having taken part in 2004.  As well as hosting and educating participants at various stages of the programme each year, we are also delighted to be involved with the application and selection of the carefully chosen participants.

The jam-packed week of talks and presentations included Partner, Reno Antoniades offering his unique take on “How to stop financial closings keeping you awake at night” and Christos Michaels shared his lessons on “Studio business affairs and US style participation”.

Christos Michaels said of Inside Pictures:

“Inside Pictures is by far the best training programme for the ever changing business of the film industry.  It is at the top of its game in terms of training and developing the next generation of film industry talent. It’s also helping to create an incredibly productive global network for the participants. I benefitted hugely from my time on the programme and I am always delighted to be able to offer support in any way I can. We wish the class of 2018 the best of luck in their future endeavours – whatever they may be.”
