After searching the Facebook pages that Harry found last week, I have only managed to find three graduates who are still pursuing their goals in the film industry or who have managed to find work in film/television. Unfortunately, only one out of these three people have got back to me so far - Sebastian Marczewski. Sebastian is a former student of Sheffield Hallam, and graduated in Film & Media Production last year. His response was as follows:
"Hi Amy,
I can help you sure. My email address is sebjdm@hotmail.com
I'm working as a camera assistant/trainee/runner/whatever but predominately a camera assistant. My over goal is to direct and I have directed one short after graduating and about 5 other low production value ones at a 6 weeks film festival in Italy. I'm currently trying to get another short off the ground.
Most of the stuff i have done after uni was for expense only but i have worked on paid jobs enough to carry on my current lifestyle. I have worked on on feature (in london) loads of shorts, promo's and adverts.
That is my situation in a nutshell.
Peace
p.s. its all about mind-set"
I have responded to Sebastian and asked him whether he'd be happy to provide us with any information regarding the following:
Who he is currently working with/for as a camera assistant/runner
How he managed to get in to these roles
How he funded the short film that he's directed since graduating
get his work known
How he is getting his work known (for it to be funded/for one of his shorts to be at a film festival in Italy)
Hopefully we will hear back from him soon. I'll keep you updated.
