Grierson DocLab: New Entrants will provide up to 12 successful individuals with the skills, confidence and connections to take their first steps into factual TV and documentary making 🎬 We’re looking for candidates interested in exploring a variety of new entrant roles – people who have fresh perspectives, creative ideas and a positive, can-do attitude towards the programme and their career in TV. You don’t need to have studied media, film or TV to be eligible – and don’t need to have gone to university either – but a demonstrable passion for all things documentary and factual TV is key! To find out more and meet people who have been on the programme before, come along to our webinar on Weds 22 January 6pm https://bit.ly/49H96Km We especially welcome applications from people currently under-represented in the TV industry – with a particular focus this year on those from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
