Past Producer Trainees
Ed Barratt
The Producer Training Initiative has without a doubt been the most useful career step I have taken thus far. It has lived up to and surpassed all my expectations of the scheme.
I feel that I have developed skills across the board that will be useful to me as a feature film producer. The programme’s nature of formal and “on the job” training provided the flexibility and structure that I required to develop most effectively.
In the immediate future I am delighted to continue working for Ipso Facto Films and Moxie Makers as both companies continue to go from strength to strength. I am still learning on a daily basis and I am more than content with my current rate of development.
In all, I feel that the Producer Training Initiative is a well thought out and superbly administered training scheme that has benefited me tremendously and I believe the North East and the UK wide film industry will reap long term rewards from this investment.

The PTI is a must for prospective Producers in the North East region, the balance of practical development and “real-world” experience was absolutely invaluable, and has given me a tremendous basis for a future career.
The opportunities to interact with successful professionals cannot be manufactured, and PTI has found a way to expose trainees to the realities of the business, while at the same time effectively preparing them for a career in a very competitive market.
I have done a lot of ‘Producer training’ courses but the PTI has huge amounts of current information and completely de-mystifies the whole process, from legal terms and deals, financing and sales/distribution to the human aspect of the business.
The course covered literally everything, and the mentors gave us the confidence and knowledge to ask all the right questions. |
