🤝 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 🎬 In the film industry, talent and creativity are essential – but networking is just as crucial. Over the years, I’ve learned that success in this business often hinges on the relationships you build, the people you meet, and the collaborations you foster. Networking is not just about exchanging business cards; it’s about creating genuine connections that lead to lasting partnerships. Whether it’s at film festivals, industry events, or even on set, I’ve seen how a single conversation can spark an idea, land a co-production deal, or open the door to new opportunities. Networking is the bridge between vision and execution, connecting like-minded creatives who share a passion for storytelling. For me, networking has always been about more than just professional gain – it’s about learning from others, sharing insights, and finding ways to elevate each other’s work. Some of the most impactful projects I’ve worked on began as casual conversations at events or through mutual connections. My advice? Approach networking with curiosity, authenticity, and a collaborative spirit. You never know where the next connection will take you. #Networking #Filmmaking #FilmIndustry #CreativeCollaboration #FilmProducer #BuildingConnections #IndustryInsights #FilmFestivals

"Jazz provides the ability to combine with other people to create new things."--Wynton Marsalis This quote grabbed me this morning. You know I love jazz, but I don't always think of it as creating something new. But when you have the right people gathered who are skilled, they can make something new out of something that is old. A song as simple as "Twinkle, Twinkle" can become a masterpiece in the hands of the right people. That relates to events. When you have the right team who have chemistry and skill, they can create an experience focused on connections, collaboration, and content. Natalie Jones Hallahan, a stagecraft expert, said, "you can judge an event not by how many people attend, but how many conversations you're curating." If you attend or produce events, how does this strike you? #eventprofs #eventjazz #unforgettableevents Holly Mulcahy

The past 1.5 months have been nothing short of exhilarating—like living in James Bond mode, where every day has been action-packed and full of exciting opportunities and I'm super grateful for the various opportunities that came my way. Paws in Sydney 🇦🇺 ✈️ The James Bondy Way 1️⃣ B&T Women in Media It's the one award night in the media calendar that I look forward to. It has so much sisterhood and inspires you to intensely prepare for the future as you rub shoulders with these industry heavyweights who’ve seen it all. 2️⃣ International Indian Film Festival of Melbourne Being a Bollywood megalomaniac and not attending this festival wouldn't make sense. Meeting Imtiaz Ali had to top that one. The entire festival got me thinking about actually sending some of my written scripts to Mumbai. 3️⃣ NGEN 2024 Contenders Announcement - Top 8 That adrenaline rush of the morning phone call to presenting to a full boardroom of 15+ within hours: the kind of pump I live for! 4️⃣ MFA Ex Session Rehearsals Writing a session for one of the most prestigious stages in Aussie medialand was humbling. The constant iterating, rehearsing, refining—working with a team to make sure every second on stage matters and taking help to get it to happen, was 💣 5️⃣ MFA Ex Melbourne - 700 people audience Second Melbourne trip in the span of 2 weeks, sure. Bring it on. The scrutiny is intense because you’re not just representing yourself but the best of what the industry has to offer. 6️⃣ UTS Panel session on "How to write better briefs?" You have to be sharp, insightful, and deeply knowledgeable, distilling years (in my case, months) of experience into digestible advice while still challenging the audience to push their thinking further. 7️⃣ MFA Ex Sydney - 1,700 people audience There was an important message to get out, the stage a was a playground. Walking off that stage knowing I nailed it? That’s the reward after all the effort. 8️⃣ Industry mentors catch-ups If you want to get something done, give it to a busy person. Trust me to schedule the most number of coffee catch-ups with peers and mentors right at this time. 9️⃣ All of this against a backdrop of my first pitch ever! ...while juggling everything else was an adrenaline rush. Pitching isn’t just about presenting a great idea—it’s about meticulous research, creating compelling narratives, and then selling it in a full room, so early in my career. Loved it! 🔟 + a new cohort of Grade 12 students at Step-by-Step GP Essays, while doing a last push for the Grade 13 students' A Levels Cambridge exams prep 🕚 Recording a 1hr podcast episode too! This whirlwind of opportunities has pushed me to new limits, but I’ve embraced the back-to-back immersions with energy and enthusiasm. I don’t promote hustle culture—balance and self-care are crucial. At 17, I was bursting with ambition, craving the challenges, the recognition, and the opportunities that I now get to experience. We still want more.
