Sandra Hebron, Head of Screen Arts and Film Curation at the National Film and Television School

One of my fondest memories from the National Film and Television School was to run a screening for the Screen Arts program.  There I was, a former corporate guy, introducing, watching, and leading a discussion on a film without a doubt that I belonged there. This was because of Sandra. She is the head of screen arts and film studies, programming, and curation at the National Film and Television School.  Here we talk about film curation — an art form I did not appreciate enough until we met.

Dr. Sara Jones, Director of the Centre for Creativity in Professional Practice

People that study creativity are interesting. The right ones will make you realise, and rightfully so, that everyone is creative. Sara is one of those interesting people.  She is the Director of the Centre for Creativity in Professional Practice at City, University of London, and Course Director for the Masters in Innovation, Creativity and Leadership.  Here we talk about her journey and how technology and creativity could work together in the future beyond artificial intelligence.

Mary Ann Kernan, Professor of Creative Practice at City University, London

I once made an animated movie for a class in Business School.  Mary Ann was my adviser for this project. Till today I view her as a mentor. By the time this comes out, she will likely have retired from a variety of roles at City, University London. Here we talk about how she got where she did and what it means to nurture individuals towards their goals.
