Eleven is partnering with 4Skills to offer a placement for their Production Training Scheme.
The scheme is for entry level talent who want to break into the media industry and are passionate about making television programmes. Eleven is offering the role of Trainee Assistant Script Editor.
Successful applicants will spend a week at ‘TV Boot Camp’ to get things underway, working closely with graduates of the scheme and the Commissioning Editors at Channel 4, before coming to Eleven to get their TV career underway.
Read more about the scheme on the Channel 4 Skills website.
Channel 4 has announced the commission of a gripping eight-part mystery thriller from actor and writer, Genevieve Barr – I.D.
I.D. (8 x 30’) was commissioned for Channel 4 by Caroline Hollick, Head of Drama and Rebecca Holdsworth, Commissioning Editor, Drama.
The drama centres on Emily; a young deaf woman, who witnesses a neighbour taking pictures of her. This leads her to explore what she might have done to warrant this unwanted attention, while simultaneously beginning a dance with a stranger that is as exhilarating as it is dangerous. I.D. is a love letter to being deaf – placing Emily on a hair-raising collision course with her past.
Creator, Genevieve Barr, said “I.D. is a journey into who we are and how people view us. Eleven gave it a home when I was starting out and I’m delighted we’ve found it a broadcaster with Channel 4 who are pathfinders in fearless and inclusive storytelling. It is a privilege to be living and breathing this deaf-led series with this team.”
Carissa Hope Lynch, Creative Director and Executive Producer, Eleven, commented; “It’s such a joy to work on a story, which is so propulsive, timely and soulful. Equal parts mystery thriller and intimate character-led drama, we couldn’t be more excited to be collaborating with Genevieve to bring her first original series to life. What better home for this thoroughly distinct proposition than Channel 4 Drama?”
