Meet Graham Robinson…

Graham Robinson is an Artist and Director with over 15 years of experience working with household names like Netflix, Universal Music Group, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Dua Lipa and the BBC.

  • What he learned from his time working in London and LA

  • How Belfast is positioned to carve its own path in the new era of story-telling

  • Why he thinks the big-budget feature film model is about to be disrupted

  • The deep heritage/history of Northern Ireland as a place of creativity and impact
