Frequently Asked Questions

Answer: No, we are not recruiting at the moment. We occasionally recruit people on a freelance basis for jobs. We advertise vacancies on Talent Circle, Mandy and Production Base.
You can e-mail your CV to mail@kayakproductions.com and we will keep it on file for six months. In your e-mail please mention that you read the careers section of our web-site.
Unfortunately we can't reply to individual CVs because we receive thousands. (So many that it inspired part of our Blackroom Management: On Tour video.)
If you want to get into film-making we recommend you start by entering short films into filmaka.com. Alec Christie has written some amusing tutorials about this in his filmaka blog.
For casting actors we use Casting Call Pro. We like profiles with 1-3 minute edited video showreels.
Question: Can I do work experience with you?
Answer: We occasionally recruit people for work experience on specific projects. We advertise positions on Talent Circle.
If want to break into the film production we recommend you get a drivers licence and a first aid certificate as these are useful skills on set, and in life.
The St Johns Ambulance run regular 'Emergency and Basic First Aid' courses around the country for around £65.
If you have a drivers licence and a first aid certificate you can e-mail your CV to mail@kayakproductions.com and we will keep it on file for six months. In your e-mail please mention that you read the careers section of our web-site.

Question: Do you build canoes and kayaks?
