Crew Call: Full Time Production Assistant
We are called Catsnake Film and we’re an online video agency based in Ealing Studios. We make creative online video, using the principles of storytelling, narrative and psychology to make content people want to watch. Some of our past films have been ‘A Love Story In Milk’ and our writer/producer Stephen Follows wrote the Virgin Media Shorts winning film ‘Sign Language’.
There will be some on-set days but most are spent in the production office. Main duties include research, pre-production, general admin and supporting the team. Useful skills would include a driving licence, experience in a production office and on set. None of these are vital as we are looking to train up the correct person. Essential skills would be a sense of humour, a love of storytelling and being a self-motivated hard worker.
The job will initially be for a four week probationary period, with the aim for it to become full time. Paid at the minimum wage and it’s based in our office in Ealing Studios so you need to be living within commuting distance.
To apply, please send an email to Sam ([email protected]) with the subject line ‘Production Assistant – [your name]’. Please write a short (under 400 words, although less is more) description in the email of who you are, what you’ve done and why you want to work for us. Please also attach a CV (max 2 pages). The deadline is 5pm Friday 28th March. No entries will be read after this date. Please don’t call the office or contact us through any other method.
Please read this job descriptions properly and follow the instructions. The last time we advertised for an entry level role in our company we had over 500 applications, so the only way we can handle this is via the method laid out above. (BTW, the person we hired for that job is still with the company and is now one of our producers).
(Please note: this job’s deadline has been extended by a day from when it was posted on other job websites because Shooting People have been so slow in accepting the listing)
Pay: £12,000 pro rata
