“Crossover UK changed my life: the most brilliant workshop I have attended. Part personal development, part creative brainstorming, it can change entire businesses as well as creatives like me.”

Roy is the longstanding creative director of indie TV firm Diverse, where he mentored rising stars such as future BBC3 controller Danny Cohen. Now he has been recruited by Jamie Oliver to expand the chef's TV production company Fresh One. Ackerman shares Oliver's love of agenda-setting TV, helping underprivileged kids enjoy the arts on shows such as Ballet Changed My Life.

Commissioning the Future

Commissioning The Future is the new European training initiative for commissioning editors and funders, developed by Crossover (UK) in partnership with Documentary Campus (Germany) and Sheffield Doc/Fest (UK).

We strongly believe that it is vital to train the decision-makers in order for the convergent marketplace to really thrive. Therefore we have developed this new European training course offering three five-day long creative and commercial innovation labs, focused on commissioning for the emerging convergent digital media ecology.
