“Before Foot in the Door I felt a lack of opportunities and contacts in the industry, as well as a lack of knowledge about where and when opportunities are available. Most of my jobs were in manual labour.”

Foot in the Door has:

• Given me a way into the industry and contacts who forward me opportunities.
• Taught me the etiquette of being on set and what I need to do to start building a portfolio for the industry.  
• Boosted my confidence to go for opportunities
• Shown me that the industry is always looking for people who having interesting skills and experiences

“Since participating in Foot in the Door, I have attended a number of film festivals and workshops. I have also worked as an editing intern on a short film. My greatest achievement has been helping to start an amateur film group in Wrexham with the intention of making a number of short films about the local area.”

“I would definitely recommend Foot in the Door to anyone interested in trying to get into the film industry as it is a great way to learn about your chosen field and to gain contacts within the film industry.”
