Today's Recommended JobsHi Everyone, From today's new jobs, our recommendation is the very popular Script Reading Work Experience at an international film sales, distribution and finance company. During this placement, you'll gain a thorough understanding of how films get bought and sold. You'd be reading scripts and writing them up, plus picking up box office analysis and the other bits that feed acquisitions decisions. No experience is needed, and you can do it from their London office or from home, which makes it workable if you've got other commitments. If you want it, read a script this week and write a one-page coverage note of your own: a clear recommendation, honestly argued, tells them more than any CV line. Get it in today - places like this read applications as they land and start picking people out early, so being in the first handful genuinely matters. I'd also like to remind you about one of our Mentor's who has spaces available. With over 25 years of industry experience, he can offer you some real pearls of wisdom so book a session today to see what you can learn that will help your applications and set your career in motion..!

He is best known for his work in natural history and documentary ad he's shot a huge variety of documentary films, from theatrical feature docs to David Attenborough's wildlife series. He also occasionally shoots drama ad more commercial orientated work, with imaginative lighting and intricate macro photography continuing to be his passion.
