From making teas to making telly – how do you turn your first steps into a lasting career?
In this exclusive RTS Futures session, we’re spotlighting real career journeys in TV and Film production – from their very first runner jobs to exciting roles in casting, producing, production management, and beyond.
Our panel of industry professionals have worked across a huge variety of formats and broadcasters – including BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Netflix, Paramount, E4 and Sky Kids – with credits spanning Love Island, BBC Films' Scrapper, Emmerdale, Netflix's The Kitchen, Saturday Night Takeaway, Limitless Win, Pride of Britain, and Michael McIntyre’s Big Show.
They’ll break down what their current roles involve, how they got there, and the advice they’d give to anyone just starting out. You’ll also get a valuable look at the many different roles that exist behind the scenes – and the wide variety of opportunities your career could take you towards.
Whether you’re figuring out your first steps or looking to pivot within production, this session is a chance to explore the bigger picture, ask questions, and get inspired by those who’ve been there.
