Director & Producer Shadowing

THE PURPOSE:

Northern Ireland Screen is seeking applications from Northern Ireland resident short film directors and producers for Director and Producer Shadowing opportunities on network TV drama (including Children’s TV Drama), Animation, Factual Entertainment, Independent Films and Large-Scale productions. 

The aim of the scheme is to create pathways for new and emerging talent by enabling directors and producers to ‘step up’ from short films to longer-form projects. 

Successful applicants will be employed by Northern Ireland Screen and placed on Northern Ireland Screen funded projects where they will work as the assistant to the director or assistant to the producer, depending on the participant's career pathway. They will then work closely with the director or producer through the various stages of production to gain an in-depth knowledge of the director or producer’s process.

If you have previously applied and been accepted onto the Director or Producer Shadowing Scheme you must re-apply via this new call.

​​​​​Application Process:
The application should be made using the online application form via GETGOT. Candidates unable to use the online form can request a manual application form, by emailing HR@northernirelandscreen.co.uk – quoting the particular Job Title and Job Reference Number.

LATE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED EVEN IF DELAYED DUE TO TECHNICAL REASONS.
Please Note: The onus is on the candidate to ensure that all such information is provided.

Northern Ireland is an equal opportunities employer.
