UK Film Productions has an opportunity available for Film and Performing Arts students. Veer, a major Bollywood Production is filming in Bath on April 17, 2009 and shooting will continue until April 24, 2009.

We are looking for highly motivated students that are ready to take on responsibility and are seeking valuable work experience in the film industry. Their specific role will be that of a Production Runner- foot soldier of the production team. They will be performing small but important tasks around the set and on location. Their duties may involve anything from administration to crowd control, and from public relations to making reservations.

Production Runners must be flexible and well organized, and be able to think on their feet. They should be able to relay messages quickly and accurately, whilst paying due regard to the need for silence when on set. They should have strong verbal and communication skills, be able to take orders, and to show tact and deference towards those in positions of authority. They must be punctual and enthusiastic, and understand the importance of recording expenditure accurately. They should be level-headed, and able to work calmly and effectively under pressure. They must be available from April 17th to April 24th, 2009.

The work experience students will be accommodated for food, beverages, and transportation. At the end of their work experience, the students are eligible for a recommendation letter and if the college allows, credit for this placement. We will also provide certificates of work experience for these students.
