The award winning production company behind hit series Normal People, Conversation with Friends, and Oscar-winning films The Favourite and Room is currently welcoming applications from emerging Irish directors for Shadow Director positions on upcoming productions across film and television.
The initiative is set to offer directors a paid opportunity to shadow an established director, on selected dates, through the various stages from development to post-production on a specific project, with a goal to equip them with first-hand industry insight and practical professional experience.
Emma Norton, Producer at Element Pictures, comments: “It’s still a challenge for new directors to gain experience of a professional production and so Shadow Schemes are a brilliant way of addressing that. We decided to make this an open call to ensure these positions are as accessible as possible and to build a database of talent people who might not cross our paths via the usual industry routes.”
Applications must be received by Friday 10th February.
