Nearly 20 years in, still figuring out this industry. No HR department, no career ladder. You work it out as you go. BAFTA Connect has genuinely helped. What it does for an independent filmmaker in Doncaster, not London: www.waynesablesproject.co.uk/blog/bafta-c... #BAFTA #Doncaster

BAFTA Connect: What It Actually Does For an Independent Filmmaker — Wayne Sables Project
Nearly 20 years in, and I’m still figuring out how this industry works. That’s not a complaint. It’s just the reality of being independent — there’s no HR department, no clear career ladder, no one tapping you on the shoulder telling you what comes next. You work it out as you go.
