Production people, Production Designer and Art Dept people wanted - all paid
Screen Northants have a number of productions coming up & looking for crew:
"Production Assistant/Coordinator/Manager - we're interested in hearing from people of all levels of experience who are available in the near future to start on a short term contract until December. Hourly rate of pay will depend on experience. This is the same as above but if you're just interested in being an assistant we're happy to talk about that."
"We have a television production happening imminently as well as more features and shorts in the future so can't have anyone who is too experienced! But equally if you have amazing organisational skills, the right attitude and willingness to learn it doesn't matter if you don't have tonnes of experience. Of course as Screen Northants we love local! Send us your CV and some information about yourself and we can organise a chat to tell you more about the projects etc."
"Production Designer - we're looking for someone with some experience as the projects we have coming up will need that but equally we don't mind some slightly left field applications and we don't mind how extensive or not your experience has been. We love local and we like people that share a similar ethos to us. Rates will depend on experience - happy to tell you more about the productions we do if you get in touch."
"Art Dept people - we're interested in hearing from people of all levels of experience. We'd just like to have more people on our books for future productions."

They say a cup of tea can solve everything. In Charles Strider’s debut short, A Glass House, it might not solve everything, but it can at least be the starting point for a conversation. This is a beautiful piece of work, shot on film in a 4:3 ratio, at a gorgeous location in King’s Norton, with a tight, naturalistic script that delves into difficulties around talking about our mental health.
The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme provides an excellent opportunity to catch some lesser-known cinematic delights, and acts as a showcase of the variety available from a film industry most often lauded for its horror and thriller output.
LCB Depot in Leicester are looking to hold a film and photography exhibition at their venue alongside the Phoenix Cinema in Leicester's Cultural Quarter in 2025.
