This is quite specific, but how might an Editor with years of experience in short form (some with STV even!) break into editing long form television? :)

@JoOsborne Thank you to Craig for the response!

Darren Edwards

My new company have produced our first (brilliant, of course) teaser tape, but we're currently unsolicited. We've sent the edit/pitch doc link to STV, but is there any point in trying to get commissioned this way anymore?

Hello there! I'm a Producer in Fact Ents - and I'm moving to Glasgow from London. I'm interested in working at STV and I wanted to ask what proportion of your slate is produced from Glasgow / Scotland. Thank you!

Aaron Carruthers

Local Scottish talent is being produced by media qualifications from our colleges and uni but there are so many barriers for that talent to get a foot in the door the industry loses them to other sectors is that something your company & the Scottish could fix as a whole?

I am a licenced drone pilot with 5 years experience. Do you ever look to hire someone internally for this role or is it more on a freelance basis?

Perfect, thanks for answering!

Simon Hundley

I have a lenthly background in entertainment but from the choreography/staging side of things. I really want to transfer to TV and am really keen to get my first credits. What advice could you give? Would my skills be easily transferrable?

Christopher Coulter

What is the philosophy behind factual/specialist factual development? Gary highlighted 'returnables', is this what you are looking for in the above areas too?

Sarah Lee @ The Talent Manager

Great session. Thanks to all. Can everyone listening and the panellists too if poss cast a vote in the Film and TV Charity poll just further down on the hub here. Thanks!

Inclusion, diversity and new voices can be accelerated with paying attention to new approaches and investing, jumping into the unknown

Otherwise is same same

Thanks for your time today, everyone. Do you commission voiceovers artists directly - maintaining your own roster - or work with particular voiceover talent agencies?

Emmi Lydia Kivinen

This is quite specific, but what kind of advice would you give to someone who has relevant experience from another country, but not that many UK credits or connections? Would you consider applicants from this kind of background?
