Rosie 3

We’re delighted to have talented Presenter and Filmmaker Rosie Benn with us at Deaffest 2019!

“Hi, my name is Rosie Benn and I’m currently living in Ashford, Kent. I am a freelance Filmmaker, Motion Graphic Designer and Presenter. I enjoy my work immensely because I get to use the best of my creativity and passion, which I strive for along with ensuring my clients are happy. I still present from time to time because I always get a thrill from being in front of the camera and providing information in BSL to the Deaf/ HoH audiences.

I am excited and honoured to be delivering the TV Presenter workshop with Clive Mason this year; we have lots of tips up our sleeves for you! I hope to see you there!”

The How to be an Amazing TV Presenter workshop will take place on Saturday 18th May at The Gateway from 12.30pm to 3pm. Pre-booking is required. For more information about the workshop visit here.
