Creative Leadership Shadowing Programme: Producer Pathway.

On behalf of the Training & Development Team at Larkin 2, we are excited to share that applications are now open for our Creative Leadership Shadowing Programme: Producer Pathway.

The Creative Leadership Shadowing Programme is designed for experienced producers who have established their craft through scripted film and television and are seeking to progress their careers within High-End Television (HETV) drama.

Delivered on Season 2 of 60Forty Films new Production, the programme provides a unique opportunity for participants to gain first-hand insight into the realities of creating large-scale television drama. Through extended shadowing placements, participants will observe and support the creative and practical decision-making that takes place across prep, production and post-production, gaining exposure to the pace, complexity and collaboration required to deliver a HETV drama production.

The programme is intended to help participants bridge the gap between their existing experience and the demands of working at the scale of a high-end television drama production. Through direct exposure to senior creative leadership, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how large-scale drama productions are developed, shaped and delivered in practice.

The Producer Shadow will undertake an extended placement of up to 14 weeks. This placement is a paid opportunity.

Training & Development

As part of the shadowing placement, the selected participant will have the opportunity to take part in selected training and development activities to support their transition into creative leadership roles within High-End Television drama. Topics may include:

• Production orientation
• Inclusive leadership and management within HETV productions
• Personal goal setting
• Introduction to key production documents, including budgets and schedules
• Networking and peer learning opportunities with fellow programme participants
