With decades producing and directing in the TV and Film industries, including his tenure as Head of Film & Animation at ScreenSkills; Gareth brings his inspirational industry insights to your guests and audience, and a confidence to any project.
“Gareth Ellis-Unwin is an outstanding opening keynote speaker, he truly captures the attention of an audience which in turn helps to set the tone of engagement for the rest of the event. Gareth has spoken at several of our Annual Member Forums which bring together global law firm leaders, and chief legal officers from The Fortune 500 and FTSE 100. He is really adaptable as a presenter and can speak on many topics whilst using his insights from the world of film to tell a captivating story. Gareth is excellent as both a standalone speaker and as a participant in a fire-side chat. He has always stayed for the entire duration of our events (three days) and has always been more than happy to invest his own free time to engage with our members whether that is over breakfast, coffee or dinner. Gareth is a wonderful and inspiring speaker and we absolutely loved having him speak at our events.”

We really value working with Gareth as a consultant across a range of Resource Productions projects. He’s been a long-time supporter of our organisation and most recently played a pivotal role in us securing National Lottery funding to launch the BFI Berkshire Skills for Screens Cluster (Screen Berkshire). His knowledge and insight of the screen industries, talent development and the recruitment and retention of crews is unparalleled. He’s a subject matter expert who happily leverages his position as an Academy award winning Producer and extensive network of contacts on every project we collaborate on. More than anyone else we work with – he ‘gets’ the communities we serve, understands the political landscape we work within and is a grafter. Every time we work together it’s been both collaborative and enjoyable.

Gareth is a speaker like no other. I could listen to him for hours and always leave with new insights I can use in my day-to-day. He captivates audiences with unique tales from the movie set, effortlessly weaving them into lessons we can all take to heart. His genuine warmth and openness in sharing his personal journey to success foster an immediate connection with the audience. Gareth has a knack for sparking new perspectives, and I loved hearing his stories how new ideas and innovation often springs from the most unexpected places. Through Gareth’s stories, we gain invaluable leadership insights. He reveals the art of converting psychological discomfort into cohesive teamwork and passionately speaks of fostering a ‘happy set’ culture. Central to his teachings is the importance of a clear vision, inclusivity, humanising work environments, and encouraging kindness. I can’t recommend Gareth enough as a keynote speaker; he is the best!
