DCUK panel event at the Apple Store, Covent Garden, London
Digital Creators UK champions creators of social and streaming arts and entertainment.
It is organised on a voluntary basis by experienced creators with backgrounds and expertise spanning film, television, advertising, web, social & mobile media and technology.
Background
Like most associations of web series creators formalising in cities across the globe, DCUK started life as an informal meeting of filmmakers of all disciplines in a pub in the middle of 2011.

Fast forward to February 2014 and our core group met to discuss the development of a more formalised association in response to the growing need from the industry for a voice to represent, support and champion web series creators and their work in all its forms on all emerging platforms.
