Bristol Unscripted Network is now just over a year old - and we couldn’t have begun our gatherings at a more important time for the industry.

There’s lots of stress and strife out there; we have personally suffered it too, and in solidarity we’ll be supporting our community again in the New Year.

In 2024, BUNS:

-Gathered almost 40 freelancer testimonials to create a 100 page document informing the then-Shadow Cabinet about the current crisis and creative freelancers’ working conditions

-Worked with Films at 59 to provide Masterclasses in Data Wrangling and Grading

-Hosted a John Yorke Story Documentary Masterclass at BBC Studios

-Represented freelancers’ concerns and tweeted live from the Creative Cities Convention

-Hosted an Expert Panel about the Industry Crisis and ways forward for Bristol, at the Watershed. Link here: https://youtu.be/Vzr33lZh6eU (many thanks to Helen Lancaster for filming the event)

-Supported TV Mindset’s Creative Freelancer Hubs in Bristol

-Gave a talk to the South West Talent Managers group

-Began BUNS Doc Club - which has now morphed into the exciting collaboration Bristol Doc Club, in partnership with the Doc Film Council, Doc West, Doc Yards and the Watershed.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has attended, volunteered, donated, hosted and supported our efforts this year. Thank you all - and a big YAY to Bristol’s brilliant and best creative community!

BUNS is looking forward to some exciting new plans for 2025… if you’d like to help us, please get in touch.

We hope you have a lovely Christmas break, and a Very Happy New Year!

With best wishes, the BUNS co-directors:

Helen Waddell
Alice Crinnigan

… with brilliant help from
Phoebe Sinclair

We are very excited to share @bristoldocclub, a new collaboration with existing networks in the region, the @bristolunscripted, Doc West and some of our DFC members.

Our collective has joined forces and partnered with Bristol’s @w_shed cinema to develop regular screenings and networking events to help build documentary culture and community in the South West. The Doc Club kicks off on 10 Dec at 6pm with a screening of Frank Capra: Mr America followed by a Q&A with Director, Matthew Wells (plus drinks in the bar afterwards).

We hope this collaboration will be the first of many to follow around different regions of the UK, so please get in touch with emily@documentaryfilmcouncil.co.uk if you would like to do something similar in your home town or city.

BUNS PRESENTS

After The Crisis: The Future of Unscripted TV

(Ticket link in bio!)

Our industry has seen a massive downturn in commissioning over the last year and a half. The whole industry is suffering, with freelancers, companies and broadcasters trying to weather the storm with mantras of ‘Survive until 2025’ and ‘Fewer, bigger, better’.

But what do these phrases mean practically, for Bristol’s future? What models are likely to be introduced? What practical steps can we as freelancers, companies and commissioners take to ensure our industry remains viable, creative, world-leading, and a fantastic place to work?

BUNS is gathering a panel of experts to discuss the crisis, its effects, and what everyone can do to ensure Bristol continues to be a centre of excellence for factual content and more.

The complete line up of panel guests is TBD but we have confirmed:

Mark Hill - Executive TV Consultant

Dominic Pisani - Coalition for Change/TV Mindset Committee Member and Series Producer

Thomasina Gibson - Pact Council Member and Director of Heroes Productions

…. plus more to be announced.

Date: Wednesday, 26th June 2024

Doors Open: Doors open: 18:30

Event: 19:00 - 21:00

Networking: 21:00 - Close

Location: The Watershed, 1 Canon’s Road, Bristol BS1 5TX

BUNS is a non-profit organisation: ticket sales contribute towards venue and event costs. A small number of tickets will be made available for people who cannot pay for the event. If you are struggling financially, please get in touch with us: bristolunscriptednetwork@gmail.com

Today BUNS is launching Skillshare Thursday.

Our network has an incredible range of skilled professionals in it, as well as a group of people who want to expand their skills and diversify in the broadcasting industry.

So every Thursday we're giving our members the space to tell people what skills they'd like to learn, and we'll try to link you with another member who can help you!

This will largely be over on our Facebook and LinkedIn pages (see link in Bio), but you can always DM us with any requests!

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
