Getting Started in the Industry in the UK?

This is a great list of resources Zach! I would add Screenskills' comprehensive overview of the different roles available in the film and TV industry (see here: https://www.screenskills.com/job-profiles/browse/film-and-tv-drama/ ). This can be a really helpful resource for people who are just starting out and are unsure which direction they'd like to go in.

Thank you, Zach, for sharing this insightful post! The included links are fantastic, and the post is extremely useful for me. I believe it will be even more helpful for someone new to the industry.

Hi Ranko - Production Base is a well-known job site for film & TV roles in the UK. For additional sites, check out this helpful list here.

Once in the UK, if you're looking for training or networking opportunities, Production Guild of Great Britain and ScreenSkills frequently run industry training and events. Depending on where in the UK you are considering, the various film offices in the nations and regions will also have a wealth of useful info and opportunities, such as Bristol Film Office, Screen Alliance Wales and Liverpool Film Office.

Many of these organisations also run online events, which you may be able to attend while you're still in the US.

Best of luck, Emily

Hi Ranko

As always, please be sure to do your own due diligence, as before getting involved with any organization, you should assess whether the organization and its policies are appropriate for you.

Best wishes,

Emily
