Job Summary
Job Description
£2,000 per film and fixed day rate of £300 for adhoc consultation and/or any additional work required.
Project Outline
The BFI is the UK’s lead organisation for film and a globally recognised cultural institution. As a government arm’s length body and distributor of National Lottery funding, we support the cultural, creative, and economic development of film across the UK.
Driven by a shared commitment to support emerging talent to build sustainable and remarkable careers, BFI and Film4 have joined forces to offer Future Takes, offering support for higher-budget live action, short-form projects from teams of UK-based writers, directors and producers. After a successful pilot round, the second round of the fund will support six films in production between April 2026 until March 2027.
The role is designed to provide high-level, advisory support to funded producers and projects, helping navigate the development and production process with confidence. This includes providing comprehensive production support in a mentorship role: reviewing and analysing production materials and paperwork and overseeing projects through pre-production, shoot, and post-production.
The successful candidates will be appointed on a freelance basis with a set fee of £2,000 per film and fixed day rate of £300 for adhoc consultation and/or any additional work required
Job Requirements
We are looking for candidates who have: a ‘producer’ or ‘produced by’ or credit on at least one UK-funded theatrically distributed feature film or television/platform broadcasts to provide consultancy and mentoring support to the Future Takes awarded teams across development, production, and delivery of their funded projects. The consultants will be required to apply their hands-on production experience to assist producers in delivering projects on time, on budget, and in line with BFI and Film4 processes and industry standards.
We are looking for individuals with a strong understanding of the UK film landscape, a passion for talent development, and a track record of producing impactful and successful work. This role is ideal for those who enjoy mentoring and empowering emerging producers, and who can offer strategic, creative, and practical guidance across development, production, and delivery.
