Debut film screening from Mucky Duck Media

26 April 2010 3:20 PM

Come see the premier screening of Mucky Duck Media’s first short film, The Trainer as part of Media Talent Bank’s networking evening on Monday 10th May.

Members of Media Talent Bank will be showcasing their creative work from photography to animation. With the chance to see a number of short films made from a number of creative people in Birmingham, the event is not to be missed. The Media Talent Bank team are advocates of Birmingham’s film scene and nurturing the creative talent in Birmingham.

The creative networking site has organised an evening where budding creative individuals, both in and out of the industry can mingle and sample some examples of the creative work that takes place in Birmingham.

Not only will there be a complementary drink on arrival and a few nibbles to munch on, but more importantly it is Media Talent Bank’s second venture of offline events to help network students, graduates and professionals who are part of the ever-growing creative sector in the countries second biggest city.

The progress of MTB has come from a group of four final year Media and Communication students from Birmingham City University. As part of their final year project, they have taken on MTB to improve the usage and success after a decline in members. The students specialise in Public Relations and Web Design and have set up a PR and Web company called Trinket Creative, and Media Talent Bank is the main client they have taken on.

The site is such a valuable tool for both students and potential employers to find creative groups or individuals whether it is for help on a project, a work placement opportunity or even a job offer. The aim of the project is to bring together online and offline promotion in order to generate more interest for the website resulting in an increase of interest and interaction between creatives and professionals.

Media Talent Bank is a creative network giving the opportunity for people, whether they are students, graduates or employers from the creative sector to upload a profile along with their CV and example of their work so that professionals can access it. The aim is to network creative individuals in Birmingham and open opportunities for them from a week’s work experience to a full-time job.

The website includes a blog which Trinket Creative is updating regularly with upcoming events or points of interest for all you creative beans out there. There are pages for job adverts, work placement opportunities, updates of recent work from the members, the ability to search for profiles in a specific specialism from Web design through to Film, and much more.

In celebration of the talented members on the website and display what the site can do, the networking evening will be a great chance to see what the creative sector is capable and the talent that is out there. Members of the site will be showcasing their work to potential employers and other people in the creative industry.
