Mike Newell will be one of the speakers at a film business event at the Liverpool International Festival for Business later this month.
He’ll join Colin Vaines (Gangs of New York) and Mike Hodges (Get Carter) as delegates learn how to take a film from the page to the screen, through fundraising, marketing, promotion and distribution.

It’s part of a wider look at the global business of film and attendees will also be able to pitch their film ideas directly to a panel of experts including Creative England’s Chris Moll and Jeremy Baxter from Pinewood Pictures.
