Signature Pictures are a social enterprise production company that provides training and work experience opportunities to unemployed young people in every department of our film productions. Partnered with Jobcentre Plus we fulfil a critical gap in provision for the many talented young people who lack the contacts, resources or belief necessary to develop a career in the creative industries or another sector. Many of our trainees have since gone on to work within film and media, or retained the confidence to go on and seek employment in other industries of their choice. Se flyer attached.
Signature Pictures is recruiting trainees into all departments of its latest short film production in Norwich: NO PAIN WHATSOEVER.
No prior experience is necessary, only genuine enthusiasm and the desire to work. This is your opportunity to turn your passion into a career!
