Film Studio Offers Free Training to Underrepresented Groups

A film and TV studio in Bristol is launching a significant initiative to support underrepresented groups in the industry. All Set West, located at The Bottle Yard Studios, is offering free, five-week training programs designed to prepare individuals for careers behind the camera.

The course specifically targets those who are traditionally underrepresented, such as women, minority ethnic groups, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people with disabilities. It focuses on practical skills, set etiquette, and the realities of freelancing in various on-set departments. Funding for the program comes from the British Film Institute National Lottery Places Fund.

This training has already proven transformative for participants. Recent attendees have successfully landed roles as locations assistants and secured work experience on major productions like BBC's 'Can You Keep a Secret?' and Apple TV+'s 'Down Cemetery Road.' The program aims to bolster Bristol's status as a filming destination by cultivating local talent.
