Visiting speaker: Michael Tuft

TV producer, editor and executive Michael Tuft is visiting Greenford to give a talk on Tuesday 7 November at 9.15am in the Library. 

Michael has worked across British television channels like Channel 4, Channel 5 and the BBC as well as international streaming services such as Apple TV. Notable productions include the documentary series 24 Hours in A&E and Natural History Museum: Saving the Planet.

On the creative industries Talent Manager website Michael describes himself as follows:

"I am a BAFTA and RTS nominated Series Producer and Executive Producer (BBC, C4.and C5 ). I also like to Edit Produce. I'm highly skilled in factual programming including presenter-led, documentary, fixed-rig, obs doc, popular doc, primetime, daytime and factual entertainment and digital production. Always looking for new ways to tell great stories. My key demonstrable skills cover all aspects of successful, efficient prize-winning content production: hiring, inspiring and running teams, development, pitching, budgeting, securing access, talent management, health & safety, foreign filming, legal and editorial compliance, edits, scripting, publicity and post-broadcast management."

This is a brilliant opportunity for Media students to hear from and question a creative industries professional. 

We're asking all Post-16 Media students to attend the talk but if you have another lesson at that time you will need to discuss this with your teacher in advance to ensure they are happy for you to attend. You will also need to catch up with any missed work.

Date: Tuesday 7 November 9.15am - Library in B Block 

Think about a question you could ask Michael: this may be about working in the creative industries or it might be linked to what we've studied - the impact of technology and streaming services in TV, diversity in the media industries, creating representations through editing etc.

We look forward to seeing you there!
