The Pact Indie Scheme matches independent production companies with entry-level talent (both graduates and non-graduates) from under-represented backgrounds.
Participants undertake a six-month (London) or eight-month (Scotland) placement with an independent production company, providing them with the opportunity to develop their talents in a thriving business environment.
In addition, each participant is partnered with a senior-level mentor from within their company, and receives bespoke training from ScreenSkills, the NFTS and BECTU Vision in areas such as copyright, storytelling, and camera operating.
The Scheme is run both in London and Scotland (with support from Screen Scotland) and is supported by some of the UK’s top independent production companies.
