Producer Accelerator is aimed at producers at the start of their careers who are looking to take that next step into the industry but may need support in furthering their knowledge of the industry or expanding their skillset.
The programme will be delivered by Short Circuit with BIFA and BAFTA award-winning film producer Irune Gurtubai.
The course will take place across 4 days in the form of two 2-day workshops on Friday 26th and Saturday 27 January, and Friday 1 and Saturday 2 March 2024.
Short Circuit will select up to 8 applicants who will develop their producing skills and industry knowledge through development workshops, masterclasses and 1-2-1 mentoring sessions. Participants will take part in training and networking sessions from industry speakers and will be matched with a carefully selected mentor that they will work with until April 2024. There is no cost to participate in the programme.
The training days will be compulsory for the selected participants and will take place in-person at Film City Glasgow
We are aware that within the screen industry that Disabled and D/deaf people, people of the global majority, women, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex people (LGBTQI+), and those who have been socially and economically disadvantaged by their circumstances and upbringing are proportionately marginalised. We encourage applications from individuals who are currently under-represented within the sector and seek to foster equal opportunities for new and emerging talent from diverse backgrounds, with support on hand for those who need it.
We welcome applications in alternative formats, such as audio or video recording. Individuals will be given the option to upload their application in an alternative format via the Application Form.
Please email hello@shortcircuit.scot if you have any questions about this.
