- Helping maintain our studio spaces and ensuring equipment is stored safely and consistently.
- Supporting the wider production team wherever needed to ensure shoots run smoothly.
What We Are Looking For:
- Some professional experience filming video content, either in-house, agency-side, freelance or through substantial personal work.
