New film skills website provides career information

Skillset has launched a new film website aimed at those who work or want to work in the UK film industry.
The website at www.skillset.org/film features a wealth of information on "getting in and getting on" in film careers.
Covering all aspects of film from development through to exhibition, the site reveals the realities of working in the film industry, including: 5,000 film and media courses searchable online; 40 revealing interviews with leading industry professionals and company heads; Job descriptions and career paths for over 200 film jobs; a storyboard guide to the filmmaking process called ‘The Business – Understanding filmmaking'; careers advice and guidance, including support for film freelancers; the latest bursaries and funding available; and facts and figures giving an up to date picture of working life in film.
Judy Counihan, Skillset Director of Film, said: “Our website is completely endorsed by the industry; it’s the definitive site and should be the first port of call for film-makers, employers and training providers who want advice and guidance on training and skills.”
