What our members say

Without any experience or contacts in the industry, I worried I would struggle to get any work at all. I found Film London's Equal Access Network and immediately signed up. Within a year of entering the industry I have gained 21 production credits and will soon begin working for Sky Sports as a Production Junior!

As a foreigner in the UK, it can be quite difficult to get your foot in the Film and TV industry. For me Film London and their partners from Greenshoot are the reason that I am now working full time as a production assistant on a High End TV Drama series. Being part of the EAN was the best step I took to start building my own network in the industry.
