I met Jin-Theng Craven about 18 months ago and jumped at the opportunity to collaborate with her on a film project creating the name and brand. The result: Bills and Beats, the UK’s first documentary series addressing financial literacy for young creatives.
In a couple of weeks we’re hosting our first event in the North.
Join us at The Attic in Leeds on Tuesday 24 June, 6–8pm (doors from 5.30) for Bills and Beats: a live event exploring how creativity and financial confidence can work hand in hand.
This isn’t a lecture. It’s a filmed event, a panel, and a conversation. Expect honest stories, practical advice, and one-to-one chats with artists, financial advisers, and creatives shaping their careers and the film series behind the project.
