There’s just 7 days left to apply for a series of courses to help trainees move into the film and television sector.
They’re being organised by the National Film and Television School (NFTS) Leeds, Screen Yorkshire and ScreenSkills and have been designed to provide a “clear pathway” to work in the industry, as Covid-secure production ramps up again.
The 5 courses are in grip, lighting, hair and make-up, costume and production assistant (scripted) all of which have been identified as in demand in the county.
“Our first year has been one of unexpected challenges, particularly for such practical courses. We, along with all the partners, and students adapted quickly and hearing the fantastic feedback from some of the first student intake motivates us to work even harder to ensure we seek out and develop the very best production talent from across Yorkshire and the North,” said Meabh O Donovan, Head of NFTS Leeds.
ANYONE interested in a career in film and television has one week left to apply for courses designed to meet growing demand for local skilled crews. The five part-time training courses are in crafts identified as ‘in demand’ - lighting, hair and make-up, costume, grip and production assistant. Run by the National Film and Television School (NFTS) Leeds, they will be taught by tutors alongside film and TV professionals through practical training in person, online tutorials, online masterclasses and mentoring support. A work experience module is planned if Covid restrictions permit. No previous experience is required and bursaries to cover training fees are available to those who qualify for support.
