Programme aimed at producers, line producers, project managers and project coordinators

ScreenSkills is offering legal and business affairs training to HETV and film professionals to help them navigate an increasingly complex legal and commercial environment.  

ScreenSkills’ legal and business affairs training scheme will be taught by professionals that have worked on Adolescence

The programme will be split into two strands, one for producers and line producers and the other for project managers (PM) and project coordinators (PC). Each course consists of a series of online modules, stripped across a week, and will be delivered multiple times over the coming year.  

The 220 total participants will be taught how to navigate everything from optioning to compliance, financing to AI, and tax credits to crew contracts. In addition, they will also receive exclusive masterclasses on specialist topics such as bonds, talent contracts and working with AI in the legal field.  

The course was designed by and will be delivered by industry training agency DV Talent and taught by experts who worked on the likes of Adolescence, Happy Valley, Rivals and feature films The Zone of Interest and Conclave.   

The programme is supported by the ScreenSkills HETV Skills Fund, with contributions from UK HETV productions, and media law firm Lee & Thompson.   

People from the nations and regions and underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. The first course will commence from next month.
