The Kerry ETB Training Centre’s Dawn Workshops are looking for participants for their latest course which is for people interested in becoming an Assistant Director, Unit Production Manager and Line Producer on Films and Television.
The course will be tutored by producer and line producer Eric Mofford and will take place from 21st-23rd March from 9am-7pm and will cost €250.
During this intensive three day course, attendees will explore the necessary procedures, attitudes, techniques, paperwork and responsibilities of the Line Producer, Unit Production Manager and Assistant Director to plan and run a film production.
