THE PONDS: Diving into a successful low budget documentary

A conversation case study with ‘The Ponds’ producer and co-director Patrick McLennan chaired by Anna Mansi, Head of the BFI Certification Unit (and keen outdoor swimmer). The Ponds is a beautiful portrait of the swimmers who swim at the Hampstead and Highgate ponds throughout the year. Filmed on a low budget, the film has had an exceptional reception and has been nominated for best documentary at the Screen Awards. Anna will be talking to Patrick about how they made the film; from financing through to distribution and its success.
