COMPETITIONS
As well as the additional resources above, Prequel Magazine lists many of the filmmaking competitions around the UK so you have the best chance of finding one you can enter.
RISING STARS
The talent of tomorrow: interviews with award-winning young, independent filmmakers so you can learn from them before they get super-duper famous.
SNAPSHOT
This is a great way to learn more about the short film scene. Snapshot gives you the crew, cast, production, design and synopsis of 3 of the best short films (at least, in our opinion). It’s quick, punchy and pretty damn aesthetic.
BUDGET FILM HORROR STORIES & SUCCESSES
If you’ve ever been on a film set, you’ll know… things tend to go wrong. In this section, anonymous contributors share their film set horror stories. To balance things out, we also hear from filmmakers who share their success stories and how to run a smooth operation when it comes to filming.
BEST FILM RESOURCES:
Obviously, we think Prequel Magazine is the best film resource out there… but we’re pretty biased. Here, we give honest reviews about filmmaking resources, including textbooks, equipment and apps.
CAREER TALK:
In every edition, we update the career talk section to include salaries, pathways and essential skills/qualifications for a massive list of different jobs in the industry.
NETWORKING
“It’s not what you know… it’s who you know.” Although this might be debatable – what you know is important, too – it’s undeniable that contacts are essential when getting any job in the film and tv industry. This section gives you networking tips as well as a list of networking events in the UK.
FILM FESTIVALS
Film festivals are fantastic for networking, learning more, and getting recognition. In this section, we list the film festivals to watch out for.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU
We scan the internet for apprenticeships, internships, graduate schemes, and work experience you might be interested in.
HEADLINES
A rundown of the latest news in the entertainment industry, and how they might impact you.
HERE’S LOOKING AT YOU, KID
This is a two-page profile focussing on someone new to the industry. It goes into detail about how they got to where they are, and where they want to go. It’s a great way to learn from someone who is a few steps ahead, so you can trace their footsteps.
FILM & TV REVIEWS
We love films (in case you didn’t already notice) and this is the place where our dedicated movie nerds write about the latest things they enjoyed watching.
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Although we try to cover as much as we can, we want to make sure you have the best chance of getting where you want to be. If there is something specific you would like us to cover, please let us know and we will try to include it in this section.
