Hey everyone
I hope you are all doing well..
I'm looking to expand on my experience and gain knowledge within the film industry.
I've applied for jobs as a production coordinator/assistant but I keep on getting the same response, that I lack experience.
But on the flip side, how do I gain experience if I've never given the chance?
Tough one!
I come from an events background, and I host my own club nights in London and in the Kent area. I currently work as a debt advisor but I have a passion for producing/directing/writing. I made a short film this year and was given an honourable mention at the World Distribution film festival.
So I'm just putting myself out there to gain as much knowledge on set as I can and most importantly network!

It's a really tough one. However, if you are from an ethnic minority, the Film London Equal Access Network (EAN) has a great newsletter that regularly posts loads of opportunities, many of which are directed at underrepresented groups. There is currently a push within the TV/film industry to try create more opportunities for underrepresented groups, so there are more training schemes available than previously, and being on a newsletter like EAN means you can actually see them when they appear. Hope that helps.

All I can say is offer a free hand on sets of small production companies near you. In the meantime I will follow you on here so that if I can pull off the film I'm trying to make this summer, you can help us out to get yourself a credit. #Getaway
