Are you looking for some hands-on experience to boost your skills and CV? Do you have an interest in the production of short films? Our paid bursary placement role as Production Assistant will offer the opportunity to work with Filmmaker Nick Farrimond, M6’s Artistic Director Gilly Baskeyfield, and professional actors.
M6 Theatre is creating an educational film for ages 13+. The Incident, written by Mary Cooper, will explore issues around misogynistic culture, coercive control, and consent, supporting relationship and sex education.
We are looking for someone who is living in Rochdale or has strong connections to the Borough or is under-represented in the arts sector and lives within commuting distance of Rochdale. You might be a recent graduate, amid a career change, or just looking for some hands-on experience for your CV.

1. On-set support for the filmmaker
2. Assisting with props and costumes
3. Assisting with set dressings
4. Liaising with the production team to co-ordinate timings
