Trainees wanted for shorts - Edinburgh

CHANNEL 4 SHORTS: PRODUCTION TRAINEE VACANCIES
Edinburgh-based Teebster Productions is seeking four production trainees to work on our forthcoming 3 Minute Wonders series for Channel 4, the NSPCC and Raw Cuts.
This is a wonderful opportunity to gain an insight into the commissioning, development and production of a short documentary for Channel 4’s 3 Minute Wonders strand, culminating in the production of a short film for this series and a broadcast credit. The films will be transmitted as part of Raw Cuts – an innovative, nationwide scheme to find and develop stories on the theme of identity from 13-18 year olds.

Successful applicants will be teamed with emerging directors and the young contributors during a four-day workshop at Channel 4’s London HQ, (full travel and accommodation expenses will be covered), running from 30 July–3 August 2007. During the course of the week, you will help develop the teenagers’ stories into a one minute ‘microdoc’ for Channel 4’s FourDocs website, with the best stories then being turned into three minute films for broadcast. Last year’s Raw Cuts films were a huge success and have since received nominations for the Jim Poole Award 2007 and the UNICEF UK Film Award at Showcomotion, Sheffield. Last year’s film can be viewed for a limited time on YouTube at www.youtube.com/c4rawcuts.

Teebster is looking for people with some experience in documentary or short film production. Experience of working with young people would also be an advantage and we especially welcome applications from those who already have disclosure screening. For more information and details of how to apply, please visit www.teebster.com.Closing date for entries is Thursday 5 July 2007.
