Videos
Two weeks before our inaugural festival kicked off, we made the decision to test out live video streaming of some of the festival. Due to budget and time constraints, the quality isn’t brilliant, but never the less, it has provided us with a wonderful record of those sessions.
It also means that people who missed out on a session can catch up on it now or into the future.
In future festivals we’ll continue this practise and set out to have a comprehesive record of as many sessions as possible.
