TV Makers

This week we have, Emilea Bagstaff, a fantastic, up and coming, Production Coordinator. Some of Emilea’s credits include Bafta award winning Documentary, Ambulance, and new doc for Discovery - Britain’s Deadliest.

Arguably, Production Coordinators are the backbone of any tv production, but the intricacies of what’s involved spans further than any spreadsheet, regardless of how good it is, which Emilea discusses here and anyone looking to make the jump to Production Co-ord, will find this conversation useful.
If you want to get in touch with Emilea, you can find her on Talent Manager, here.
