Advisor Studio sessions feature intimate, moderated conversations with Sundance Advisors who are working artists and media industry professionals that contribute their expertise to the Collab community via courses, classes, office hours and events. In the Studio events, Advisors share field experiences and insights into their specific areas of craft, including writing, directing and producing for TV and film.

It’s a sentiment as old as Hollywood itself: it’s who you know. And an essential element to succeeding in any career lies in your ability to cultivate authentic, lasting relationships. Join us for a special conversation with Suzanne Lyons, Producer/President, Snowfall Films, as she guides us on how to master the art of networking. We’ll establish what a professional network is and how to leverage your existing relationships. We’ll also discuss how to develop your “target list,” a framework that will help you identify potential new contacts to add to your network, and share tips on how to approach them in a way that sets you up for success. This session will give you the practical tools, advisable etiquette and best practices that will help you build the confidence to create a rich and healthy professional network.
