What is Ask Seek Knock’s Approach To Production? We have 4 key principles.
Welcoming Sets
The Film and TV industries have been known to take a toll on mental health, and we make it our central focus to ensure that everyone feels welcome and comfortable on our sets. Making use of the Film and TV’s Charity Toolkit along with our own industry experience, we want to ensure that our cast and crew enjoy their time on set with us just as much as audiences will eventually enjoy watching what we produce.
As a disability-led production company, we also have an eye on keeping the conversation flowing around accessibility on set and how we can learn to be more accommodating to the cast and crew - including, but not limited to, those that are disabled and neurodivergent.
Integrity and Honesty
At ASK we believe in a focus on integrity and honesty. We are open and transparent about any mistakes (although we hope there are not too many!) because we are passionate about a people-led culture based on these core values. Those working with us should always feel that it is a safe space where their own needs and worries can be met with understanding,
rather than opposition.
Traineeship
Where we can, we are keen to incorporate opportunities for less experienced crew and work experience students to shadow and learn from those who may be ‘further up the ladder.’ Luke Allen and other ASK representatives can also be booked for school assemblies, workshops, events, and even one-to-one calls to offer support and advice to fellow creatives, or to those who are looking to break into the industry.
The ’Right Answers’
We might not have all of them, but we aim to open the platform for the right questions to be asked and the right answers found. We believe that there are no wrong questions, and we hope to work together with all cast and crew to find the right answers. The Company’s name is a reference to Matthew 7:7 – “Ask and you shall receive; seek and you shall find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” This isn’t just a nod to founder Luke Allen’s own personal faith; it is the foundation for the ethos of the whole Company. Asking is a huge part of opening the right doors and finding those right answers and, after all
– if you don’t ask, you don’t get!
