- Hey Myriam, Ollie has worked within Art Departments on films and TV for the past 10 years. He said he's happy to answer some Qs if you want to drop him an email on oliversimonthomas@gmail.com https://olivert.myportfolio.com/work
- @Lisa Gray Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences, that is super valuable and honestly really helpful
- @Peter Yip Thank you so much for the response!
- Kays and British Film Designers Guild has a list of Production designers, supervising art director and art director listed on their directory. Drop people and email with your CV and portfolio or even a quick phone call is probably the best way to start.Screenskills also has great resources.
- Hello! Look at your favourite shows or films, watch the credits, and find them. Write to them directly. You can find most people online with some careful googling.I wrote 70 letters (yup, showing my age) before I landed my first TV job in Australia - but that was 20 years ago and it has been very few months without job- and a super exciting career. So the correspondence is a lot but definitely worth it to not just land the job you are meant to have but your own self confidence. Best of Luck!
