Hi,
I was looking through a filmmaking magazine and found that there was a film production company shooting parts of a film in Scotland where I live. I later found out that there were other films scheduled to be shoot really close by in the next year or so including the Outlander series by Starz.
I was considering approaching them and asking if I could maybe come along some days and be a runner or help out because I'm interesting in pursuing a career in the film industry, but I was worried that most would just see me as a distraction. The other route I saw was to get an internship but because I'm 15, I'm too young for almost all the studio's who only accept people who are doing higher education or are 18+.
The bottom line is, I'm wanting to go and help out with one of these films, as I'd imagine I would gain a lot of experience and it would help out getting future jobs if I had recommendations. However, I don't imagine they would let some random teenager turn up on set, or let me sign up for any internship program.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks.
