Monster Make Up: the Nuts and Bolts of Make Up in Horror Films

The event, taking place in Nottingham on Thursday 24 February, is all about horror. Our top industry speakers will examine the practicalities of interpreting a director's vision, and the design and creation of make up and prosthetics to realise that vision on screen.
EM Media has teamed up with the Nottingham Skillset Media Academy and Mayhem Horror Film Festival for our next Talent Network event on Thursday 24 February, and what a corker it promises to be.
We're delighted to welcome director Simon Hunter (Lighthouse, Mutant Chronicles), prosthetic and special effects (sfx) make up designer Paul Hyett (The Descent 1 & 2, Red Riding trilogy, The Cottage, Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, London to Brighton) and BAFTA-nominated make up designer Jacqueline Fowler (Hunger, Harry Brown, Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, Red Riding 1974), to this very special Talent Network Event.
The event will look at horror and fantasy make up from three angles:
- The director’s vision of fantasy horror characters
- How this vision is realised by a prosthetics/sfx designer and a hair and make up supervisor
- The practical processes involved in achieving the final result
