Available positions

Locations

This 10-week attachment would see our successful Tasmanian candidate shadow the Supervising Locations Manager with outcomes including budgeting, interfacing with the public, location release legalities, crew logistics and execution, scouting, interpreting briefs, location photography and distribution, and department-specific considerations. The candidate would need organisational and communication skills, demonstrate a commitment to a career in the industry and have a current driver’s licence.

Art Department

One of the most dynamic departments in production, this 10-week entry-level attachment would suit a candidate with an interest in both practical and digital art-based practices, design and construction. Undertaking a variety of tasks, the attachment would shadow Production Designer and Supervising Art Director where practical, and assist across a variety of hands-on roles including on-set standby and production office duties. The opportunity is designed to give the candidate the confidence, experience and knowledge to set them on a path to a career in the art department.

Sustainability

Do you have an interest in environmental sustainability and professional film/television production?  With the emerging field of Sustainable Film Production gaining momentum in Australia, the upcoming Tasmanian production of The Survivors has employed a Sustainability Coordinator in line with Matchbox Pictures, TAP and Universal's environmental policies.

The attachment role will shadow the Sustainability Coordinator as they educate, record and report on carbon emissions and promote carbon reduction strategies throughout production. Together they will empower departments to take steps to reduce their environmental impact, assist in the implementation and monitoring of sustainability policies and waste management strategies, and gather data used to calculate our carbon footprint (using the industry-standard albert calculator). The position is two days per week for 10 weeks, starting week commencing 15 January 2024 (work days and start date are flexible).

Learning how to approach and analyse film and TV production through this ’sustainability accounting’ lens will be a highly in-demand skill as this field progresses. This is a unique opportunity for anyone passionate about both the environment and TV production, as training opportunities are rare.

Interested practitioners are encouraged to email SurvivorsSustainability@gmail.com for more information.
