In a post-lockdown film & TV world, are runners an outdated position to recruit for in post-production, VFX and animation?
The coronavirus pandemic has forced every part of the screen industry to adapt and re-assess the way things work, for clients, employers, and employees alike. Many aspects will never be the same again.
Post-production companies have been forced to downsize to reduce costs and to postpone recruitment. A blended model with people continuing to work from home alongside fewer on-premises sessions may be the future, but what will be the impact on entry-level jobs and the runner role in particular?
Can we find a better way of recruiting and training our future workforce?
The panel will include:
- Presenter: Tanya Rai – Freelance | Podcaster | Diversity, Events & Marketing in Broadcast
