IS THIS INDUSTRY RIGHT FOR YOU?
Making films is about a lot more than actors, writers, directors and producers! Film sets need carpenters, hairdressers, make-up artists, props buyers, location assistants, accounts assistants, wardrobe assistants, production assistants, and a host of trainees in a variety of roles. Check out the Screen Training Ireland film department guide to learn more about the kind of skills required and roles available in film production.
