FILMBASE

Crew Catch-Up

Thursday 8th Oct 2026

6:45-7:15pm (UK time) via Zoom

We are holding the first of our new Filmbase Crew Catch-Ups on Thursday 8th October, via Zoom, from 6.45pm to 7.15pm.

These catch-ups are meant to be a chance for crew members to come together (we'll have some in-person meets as well, around the UK), to network, talk about the industry, jobs, rates, box rental, working conditions and just to ask advice if there's anything we can help with!

They will be very informal with no set agenda, but we hope they will prove useful for Filmbase members to share advice and perhaps swap contact details if there is work in the offing.

Particularly when the industry is so quiet, it can be a huge help just to chat to other crew members in the same situation as you.

Rob from Filmbase will be on the call this time, and also dropping in to chat will be Eva Onsrud, who worked as a Senior Production Buyer and Set Decorator, before taking up a position recently as Head of Film and TV at leading greens supplier Palmbrokers.

We hope you can join us - drop in anytime via your phone or computer between 6.15pm and 7.15pm on Thursday 8 October. We'll send the Zoom link nearer the time.

When you register, you can submit a question if there's anything specific you'd like us to answer.

The webinar is FREE for Filmbase members.

FILMBASE SESSIONS

A Discussion with......

Coordinator Rachel Dunn

Sponsored by

Thursday 29th Oct 2026

1:15-1:45pm (UK time) via Zoom

Our next Filmbase session - sponsored by Data Reprographics - is with Coordinator Rachel Dunn.

Rachel's Art Dept credits include Loki, both Wicked films, Snow White and Jay Kelly.

Rachel is currently Coordinating on a major superhero franchise, one of the biggest productions underway in the UK, where she manages a team of Assistants across studio and location shoots around the world.

Rachel works with Assistants every day, so she knows exactly what makes a junior invaluable on a busy production and what can trip people up in their first jobs. She sees looking after the juniors in her department as a key part of the Coordinator's role, and she's keen to help new Assistants get off to a strong start.

We'll be asking Rachel:

What she expects from crew members in the junior roles on a job
The skills, habits and etiquette that make an Assistant stand out
How to find and land those first jobs
How she runs a team of Assistants on a large MMP, and what stepping up to Coordinator involves

This session is for all Filmbase members looking to work as an Art Department or Set Decoration Assistant, as well as those thinking about stepping up to Coordinator, and fellow Coordinators who'd like to hear how Rachel tackles the role.

We'll be talking to Rachel from 1.15pm to 1.45pm on Thursday 29 October, over Zoom.

Many thanks to our partner Data Reprographics for sponsoring this webinar.

The webinar is FREE for Filmbase members and £10 for non-members. If you'd like to become a Filmbase member, click here.
