Today's Recommended Jobs

Hi Everyone,

The start of another working week and there are some more jobs already this morning. In particular I'd like to tell you about two and remind you of another...

Firstly, don't forget that an internationally renowned Feature Film Production Company is looking for a Runner to join the team of their VFX Company in London. This is already live on our site but the deadline is fast approaching!

As a Runner, you'll be supporting the studio and picking up the skills and knowledge that go with it. 

No previous experience is required, so this is a genuine way in!

It's a permanent, ongoing role, and the kind of place where the people you meet matter as much as the work itself.

The latest jobs today are:

Post-Production Runner: 

An award-winning Creative Studio which provides the very best in VFX, CGI, Design, Grade, Offline, Audio, Sound and Print capabilities across Film & TV and Commercials is looking for a Post Production Runner.

If you are particularly interested in specialising in 2D/Flame/Online VFX then this is the ideal opportunity for you.

This is a highly recommended opportunity and is particularly exciting because, when more senior positions become available, they try hard to promote internally. So this could be a real stepping stone!!!

Freelance Runners: 

An award-winning independent Production Company is looking for Freelance Runners in London.

These are all paid positions.

They often need extra runners to cover shifts or busy shoot days, so this is a list to get your name on rather than a single job. These are paid, freelance shifts. Add your CV each month so they can get in touch when work comes up, and don't contact them directly — they'll review the CVs when they need them.

These are highly recommended opportunities which allow you to gain experience, make contacts and really bolster your CV, whilst balancing other commitments.

If you have any questions about any of the opportunities or would like any advice regarding your career, please feel free to email me anytime.

Best wishes,

Jess

How to become a Film Director

Sophie King Workshop leader

This workshop is focused around the many elements of directing, from how to get your first paid gig to what to do in-between projects and whether you should write everything you direct. I’ll cover my entry into the industry as someone without any family connections and how I kept myself afloat whilst I built up my portfolio. I’ll give tips on how to get an agent and explain if you actually need one yet. I’ll go into some detail on short films and what their purpose is in your career journey, and how you’ll know that you’re ready to move from shorts to long form film and television. Plus I’ll answer any burning questions you might have about how to forge and maintain your directing career.
