The Konnect Conference

Transferable Skills: Breaking Into the Film & Television Industry

​

The Konnect Conference is The Secret Society of Black Creatives’ signature community experience designed to open doors into the film and television industry. Built on the belief that talent is everywhere, but access is not.

The Konnect exists to bridge that gap.

​

The film industry in Massachusetts, like many creative industries, is deeply network-based. Opportunities often flow through relationships, referrals, and proximity. For many in our communities, those networks have historically felt out of reach — especially when the rooms don’t reflect your neighborhood, your background, or your lived experience.

The Konnect changes that.

​

This conference is a dynamic gathering where aspiring creatives, career changers, students, and professionals discover how their existing skills — from administration and design to logistics, marketing, tech, and beyond — are directly transferable into film and television careers. Through panels, conversations, and real-world insight from working industry professionals, attendees gain clarity, connections, and actionable next steps.

 

More than an event, The Konnect is a bridge.  A starting point.
A space to build community, expand networks, and see yourself in the industry. Because breaking into film shouldn’t depend solely on who you know — it should start with what you bring to the table.
