Training and progression, after a grade on a simulation.
Futures in Film CIC is not a crew-supply agency. This page is about progression: what people have trained in, and a supervised route for a production willing to bring somebody through.
Progression
What people have trained in, and who watched them do it.
Every recommendation comes from a practitioner who has worked with them: what they did, on what, and where they were strong.
Camera department
Trainees and 2nd ACs who have loaded, marked and run a cart on a working unit, including on 35mm.
Trained
Grip and lighting
People who have rigged, run cable, laid track and been on the end of a crane.
Trained

Runners, production trainees and coordinators who have handled call sheets, movement orders and a unit base.

A smaller pool, with credits on commissioned and social-impact films.
Smaller pool
What comes next
Further training, shadowing, a supervised placement, CV evidence and credits. A pathway becomes visible and more realistic.
Progression
Placements
Taking somebody through.
A defined role on your unit, for defined dates, as training. They have held the grade on a production simulation: a working package, a call sheet, consequences. Paid, with a supervisor agreed in writing before the first day, and a debrief afterwards.
