Editor needed for short 10-15 minute documentary. Post production dates are roughly from 12 Apr 10 – 02 May 10. You will need to have availability mainly on the weekends for this period, possibly some evenings, so if you already work full –time this will not be a problem.

This is a zero budget production so we are looking for someone to work on a voluntary basis. Ideally a skilled editor who would like to gain more documentary editing experience. This documentary will be entered into various festivals at the end of April 10.

Purely Production offers a production support service to individuals and small companies who want to outsource all or elements of the production management process. So we can ‘service’ a production from beginning to delivery or simply offer support with things like budgets, setting up shoots, post production or accounting. We are a network of production professionals all with extensive experience in the documentary field. Though we may need to visit you from time to time, the majority of work is done at our own premises (which means you don't even need to have an office) and as we are all freelance we are able to keep our overheads to a minimum. The result of working like this means that our services can be accessed very economically. In short, we are able to offer all the production support that a traditional production company might offer at a fraction of the cost. Several well known documentary makers have used our services recently including Daisy Asquith and Marc and Nick Francis of Black Gold fame. If you need assistance with any aspect (or all) of or your production please email me at sian@purelyproduction.com.

I'm a young filmmaker working on a short documentary about migration to submit to festivals next year and I am looking for a like minded producer to collaborate on the project with.

This documentary will deal with the issue of migrative in a creative and visual way. I have access to my equipment, I'm looking for someone to colloborate with as two heads are always better than one.

This will involve some creative input, practical help with finding contributors, writing proposals, sourcing locations and being general brainstorming sounding board.
