In these 15 years, REM has helped nurture and launch the careers of a number of film makers from the region, at least 8 of whom have subsequently made their first features; Debbie Isitt (Nativity), Justin Edgar (Special People), J Blakemore (The Disappearance of Alice Creed), Shona Auerbach (Dear Frankie), Chris Atkins (Taking Liberties, Starsuckers) among them. Some find themselves in other capacities of broadcasting (Michael Baig Clifford, Adrian Goldberg). Others continue making short films while holding down the day job; Nick Walker, Janet Vaughan and Derek NIsbet integrate film making into the diverse programme of Talking Birds, Alan van Wijgerden is a lab tech for the University of Warwick, Paul Hardy, Mark Presdee, Matthew Cooke and Vince Lund have set up their own successful production companies. Others, still, got proper jobs.
Channel 4's Production Trainee Scheme 2010 is now open for applications
Channel 4 are on the lookout for new voices. Talented people who are keen to spend up to 12 months with either a TV or new media production company, building the skills they need to launch their careers. The important thing here is NEW voices. Which is why these schemes have been created for those who think they might never be able to break into the industry. There could be a hundred reasons why: you may be disabled for example, or from an ethnic minority, or perhaps you've never seen the inside of a university. Maybe you believe that your age could cause those doors to slam in your face. Whatever. The important thing is that you can bring ideas, energy and real passion. In return, we'll bring you every opportunity to shine.
