BAFTA Nominee: Carolyn McLeod
Casting Director"Trying to sustain a career in this industry, regardless of your job title, is difficult. I’ve always been freelance, so the ‘feast or famine’ aspect of having to constantly source one’s own work is not for the faint of heart. Trying to keep the faith and persevere is the tough part, but having a passion for whatever you do will get you through to the other side."

BAFTA & Oscar Nominee: Nadia Stacey
Hair and Make Up Designer"That it pays to be brave and to not worry what people might think, just to be true to your design and what you believe is right for the characters. I’ve also learnt that by immersing yourself in the world you are trying to create that little gems of ideas spark. I’ve also learnt that sometime it pays for me to listen to that secret inner punk."

BAFTA Nominee: Sheena Duggal
VFX Supervisor"Don't be afraid to ask questions, no one can know it all, it takes a village, smart people surround themselves by smarter people. Normalise being OK saying "I don’t know, but I’ll find out and get back to you". Care about making a good film and telling a good story, but don’t care too much, make sure to find a good work/ life balance. Apply practical intelligence to problem solving. Look at the world, observe, light, photography and art there’s so much to learn. Love what you do."

BAFTA Nominee: Posy Dixon
Director"When I was starting out, female identified individuals got ushered into production roles. So fight that wave if you feel it sucking you in and it’s not truly the direction you want to go in. Advice would just be shoot and edit as much as you can. Hone your skills and the rest will follow."

Primetime Pride 2022!
Spreading the LoveA new report has found that LGBTQIA+ representation is at a high with nearly 12% of regular characters identifying as LGBT (according to media advocacy group GLAAD). However, we must not end there but ensure that representation increases on-screen as well as off-screen to make sure people are allowed the freedom to share their stories, their experiences and their hopes and dreams. To spread the love at Primetime, we will be showcasing trailblazing LGBTQIA+ filmmakers who are pushing for more authentic representation both on and off screen within film. They will be discussing their hopes for the future in the industry, their favourite bits of content and sharing all their upcoming projects!
