Leo Pearlman - Sunderland business week

 

Leo Pearlman


On the 8th October 2021 Leo Pearlman attended an event that was a part of Sunderland business week that was called 'An Audience with Leo Pearlman' This event was held at the looking glass cafe in Sunderland. Leo Pearlman is a film producer who is part of the production company Fulwell 73 Productions, he has produced projects like the Friends Reunion, Cinderella, Sunderland till i die and many more. Leo is the managing partner of the Fulwell 73 group, heading up and overseeing all commercial matters both in the UK and the US. His role is one that focuses on business development and growth targeted strategies, as well as the day to day running of the ever expanding Fulwell team and production slates.

I learned a lot from this experience and i believe that i gained a vast amount of knowledge from attending this event. I would definitely say that i know more about the industry from this talk, one of the things i found out was that a lot of the views from shows, movies, documentaries etc come from clips on youtube which helps production companies find out what the audience are enjoying so that they can alter their show to make it more interesting. This talk definitely opened my eyes to the amount of potential careers available to me within the media industry and more specifically the production side of it. I also now know more about the opportunities that are available to me and the facilities that can provide them as Leo informed us that he will be opening an office in Sunderland that will be hiring interns to work on media related things. Overall from attending this event i have learned a lot about the production industry and the career opportunities that are available within.

Evaluation

B1: Personal Progression Evaluation Research into My Future Options After College I planned to progress into higher education at University and study Fashion Journalism as an undergraduate degree. During extensive research into this course and which Universities offered it, I stumbled upon a similar course at Northumbria University that I felt better suited my interests and would better support me in finding a job in the future. The academic search task was very helpful to me and even encouraged me to explore options I hadn't previously thought to.  When researching potential jobs in the media industry, I was most intrigued by the Fashion Journalism sector so I continued my research into jobs that were available in this side of the industry. This was very helpful to me as I found many jobs I would be very interested in pursuing like Fashion Publicist, Fashion Writer, Fashion Editor and Fashion Marketer. This task really helped me to reconsider my future options as I found out about...
