Dear TV Freelancer, Are you free tomorrow (Friday 9th June)? If so, you might like to know the line-up of stallholders offering advice and services to current or prospective freelancers at Bectu's Freelances Fair, being held at BAFTA, 195 Piccadilly, London, from 1pm until 7pm. (More are still coming on board as we speak, so the list is not final.) This is a unique opportunity to get advice from a wide range of industry professionals all gathered under one roof, at an event specifically aimed at film and TV freelancers. The fair is followed at about 8pm by a question and answer session. You don't have to be a BECTU member to come along to the fair in the afternoon; it's free and you can just turn up on the day - but as interest has been strong (and all the afternoon seminars are now booked up), we strongly advise you to register for entry to the fair via BECTU's website here: http://www.bectu.org.uk/news/free/nf0107.html Just about any query or problem you have, from accounts to careers to jobhunting, is likely to be answerable by at least one of the following: 01zero-one Creative Learning Lab - <http://www.01zero-one.co.uk/> http://www.01zero-one.co.uk BECTU - <http://www.bectu.org.uk/> www.bectu.org.uk Black Information Link - <http://www.blink.org.uk/> http://www.blink.org.uk/ Directors and Producers' Rights Society - <http://www.dprs.org/> www.dprs.org Documentary Filmmakers Group London - <http://www.dfglondon.com/> www.dfglondon.com DV Talent - agency and training. <http://www.dvtalent.co.uk/> www.dvtalent.co.uk Hard Dowdy - accountants. <http://www.harddowdy.com/> http://www.harddowdy.com Health & Safety Executive. <http://www.hse.gov.uk/> www.hse.gov.uk Jobs in Broadcast. <http://www.jobsinbroadcast.co.uk/> www.jobsinbroadcast.co.uk The Knowledge - online production contacts database. <http://www.theknowledgeonline.com/> http://www.theknowledgeonline.com/ Mandy - international film & TV production database. <http://www.mandy.com/> www.mandy.com Media Directions - publication promoting new talent. <http://www.mediadirections.co.uk/> www.mediadirections.co.uk Move On Up - support for ethnic minority professionals. <http://www.bectu.org.uk/> www.bectu.org.uk Productionbase - online TV jobs and networking. <http://www.productionbase.co.uk/> www.productionbase.co.uk Ravensbourne College - media training providers. <http://www.rave.co.uk/> www.rave.co.uk The Research Register - freelance agency. <mailto:michaela@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> michaela@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Skillset - careers and training advice. <http://www.skillset.org/> www.skillset.org Talent Circle - online jobs, news and networking. <http://www.talentcircle.co.uk/> http://www.talentcircle.co.uk/ Thompsons - solicitors for union and employment rights. <http://www.thompsons.law.co.uk/> www.thompsons.law.co.uk Top TV Academy - training and networking. <http://www.toptvacademy.co.uk/> http://www.toptvacademy.co.uk/ UK Film Council. <http://www.ukfilmcouncil.org.uk/> http://www.ukfilmcouncil.org.uk/ University College for the Creative Arts - <http://www.ucreative.ac.uk/> http://www.ucreative.ac.uk/ VET - multimedia post-production and training. <http://www.vet.co.uk/> www.vet.co.uk Women in Film and TV - <http://www.wftv.org.uk/> www.wftv.org.uk All the best, TV Freelancers www.tvfreelancers.org.uk <http://www.tvfreelancers.org.uk/>
