About NFM Crew Academy

NFM Crew Academy aims to support those looking to begin their career working in film and TV with the knowledge and skills to find work.

NFM Crew Academy also aims to support productions and production companies to confidently recruit those new to the industry into roles within their productions or companies.

We do this through networking events, boot camps, masterclasses, workshops where you get to hear from and talk to industry professionals. NFM Crew Academy is suitable for adults who are new to the industry or those already working looking to step into new roles. Members of the Academy may also receive CV surgeries and one-to-one mentoring and advice.

‘I am now more aware of getting myself out there and making contacts with people in the industry in order to get a foot on the ladder.  I’ve learnt that it’s important to keep persevering when looking for creative work and to keep making your own opportunities and work in the meantime.’

Whether they are looking for a shadowing opportunity, work experience, trainees or a new entry runner position, we can match Academy members who are ready to work.

If you are looking for someone to join your team, or can offer opportunities we will do our very best to help you find the very best people.
