Amy Smart

After studying film at university (with aspirations to be the next Sofia Coppola) I accidentally ended up managing a small college for two years, developing the arts provision in and around the Black Country, before making the transition to film when I joined mac Birmingham as Cinema Producer. As part of the arts team I managed mac’s independent cinema programme until spring 2016 after which I joined Flatpack Projects to head up Flatpack's year round activity under the banner of Film Hub Midlands, a BFI-funded project working with the Film Audience Network to help build a more thriving film community in the region.
