Researcher

We’re looking for a researcher to join our talented Film Team in the West Midlands. We are a busy bunch of over 33 experts, all in-house, working across the entire production process from development to delivery.

Almost every project we do is different, and we're looking for a researcher who is happy to be involved in every step of the process and keen to learn. The role involves working closely with producers on the production of films as well as the creative team researching for new briefs and development.

The role includes pre production as well as many ad hoc company admin and office management tasks, so a flexible and proactive 'can do' attitude is essential. Rest assured, we all share tea and coffee making duties! The right candidate will blend in with our friendly and collaborative company culture.

Principle duties

From the get-go, you should be confident with carrying out the following tasks with minimal supervision:

Production:

• Assisting with all aspects of pre-production (paperwork, locations, talent, legals, licensing, travel, accommodation and catering booking, sourcing crew and kit, booking suppliers)
• Assisting on shoots (Running, Talent Chaperoning, 1st AD, 2nd Camera)
• Assisting in Post-Production (Sitting with our in-house editors to craft cuts of simple videos)

Pitching:

• Research for briefs
• Sourcing example locations, talent, and references
• Contributing creative ideas

This list is not exhaustive, and you will be expected to work flexibly and undertake other such duties as the management may, from time to time, reasonably require.
