Drama and scripted TV bootcamp returns!

16 January 2023

If you are interested in working in film and drama production, our latest Create Central Bootcamp funded by WMCA and delivered by University of Birmingham is a really exciting opportunity for graduates, college-leavers, career-changers and people over the age of 19 living in the West Midlands region to gain some practical industry experience and get a foot on the career ladder in this competitive sector.

Back by popular demand this practical bootcamp is an immersive and intensive opportunity to learn about, and experience, all aspects of scripted drama production. You’ll work with leading film and TV professionals with years of experience in the industry, drawing on their expertise to prepare you for work on set, in a three-week intensive curriculum.

You’ll then have a two-week secondment to a film or TV production, gaining hands-on experience on set. You’ll be able to shadow a production, using the skills and knowledge you’ve gained in your training to observe and participate on set.

The practical bootcamp culminates with a range of online sessions in the final week, devoted to mentoring, CV support and masterclasses on ways into the industry.

If you are unemployed, you will be supported to secure an interview with an in-process production on completion of the course. If you are employed, you will be supported to re-train for a role/secure a promotion in the scripted drama/film industry.
