Calling all Production Designers!

UPDATE: Position filled!

***PAID*** PRODUCTION DESIGNER

Attention designers! We have an exciting project coming up between the 1st - 7th of May. We are looking to recruit a designer to a small team of creative filmmaking minds to bring a short film script to life in an enchanting location (in Co. Galway).

Previous experience on screen is desired, but not necessary. Really the only thing that's necessary is your creativity (and that you're available for the above dates). Send us an email to [Email hidden] telling us about yourself. Send a CV if you like, but we're more interested in your heart and your mind. Show us a sketch, or a mood board. Give us a list of your favourite films. Tell us a story, or tell us a joke.

We are self-financing the project, and are happy to pay the successful applicant a fee, as well as cover all accommodation and food. If you are interested in applying but have any questions, please get in touch with us on [Email hidden].

We would appreciate you spreading the word about this, if you know someone!
