Every edition of this triannual magazine is curated to keep help you succeed in the industry. We like to keep it fresh for every cover, with seasonal themes and the latest news. However, there are some sections of the magazine you will find in every issue:
THE LATEST IN THE INDUSTRY
A rundown of the latest news in the entertainment industry, and how they might impact you.
NEWS & EVENTS
These include the latest in the industry, film festivals to look out for, and topical issues in the film and TV industry.
INTERVIEWS & FEATURES
Here, we speak with some top-notch film pros about their advice to you, the next generation of filmmakers. You’ll find interesting discussions, key advice, and inspiration.
BEYOND THE LINE
Not everyone in the industry can fit into a box of director, or sound recordist. Roles like social media management, podcast editing, and film festival coordinating are all film-related but often overlooked when considering career opportunities. We do our best to include these in our magazine.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
We’re here to make chasing your dreams easier on your wallet. With rundowns on expenses and ways to survive the cost of living, this aspect of the magazine is dedicated to those who want to watch their pennies and make a living while pursuing a career in film and tv.
RISING STARS
The talent of tomorrow: interviews with award-winning young filmmakers so you can learn from them before they get super-duper famous.
FILM FESTIVAL DETAILS AND ADVICE
Film festivals are fantastic for networking, learning more, and getting recognition. In this section, we list the film festivals to watch out for and give advice on how to make the most of these networking events.
STUDENT PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
We highlight some of the good work that film students are doing across the UK!
BEST FILM RESOURCES:
Obviously, we think Prequel Pictures is the best film resource out there… but we’re pretty bias. Here, we give honest reviews about filmmaking resources, including textbooks, equipment and apps.
NETWORKING ADVICE
“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.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU
We scan the internet for job postings, apprenticeships, internships, graduate schemes, and work experience you might be interested in.
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 and what you can learn from them.
FUN & GAMES
Because life can’t be all serious, we try to include some dilly-dallying in our magazine through games (and see our social media pages for more!)
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.
