We are looking for DV Directors for an upcoming true crime series from June onwards
We will be embedded in a police force in the south of England.
We are looking to create a pool of talent so that when we get a call to say the investigation is commencing, we can quickly turn around a team.
Candidates in filming roles will need to have documentary experience, strong editorial instincts, and be happy to work independently, shooting on FX6/FX9.
We will be working unpredictable and antisocial hours.
Experience of working with emergency services is a plus.
All potential candidates will be required to undergo police vetting.
Please apply by CV to us.
We are an equal opportunities employer and we welcome applications from those from under represented backgrounds.
