The UK Film Education Trust offers funding, training and support to people who wish to work or advance their career in the UK Film and television industry. UKFET work to cultivate skills and actively seek opportunities for individuals to access a broad range of exciting production-side roles, such as:

Animators, Art Directors & Visual Effects, Producers, Directors, Editors, Camera crew, Armourers, Technicians, Choreographers, Make-up artists, Location Managers etc.

The charity (Number: 1162509) was established in July 2015 in response to industry feedback highlighting concerns about the future of the UK film and TV industry as a result of a nationally dwindling talent pool.

Based in the historic heart of the UK Film and TV industry at Pinewood Studios, UKFET work closely with industry experts to identify skills gaps, funding and training opportunities to support the next generation of production crews in entering the industry.

Webra..

Based at Pinewood Studios since 2008, Webra’s experience ranges from creativity to logistics, from development to marketing and offers a range of services designed to help clients realise and grow their ideas.

Webra is an independent production company that works not only on their own projects but also helps those looking to expand their brand and intellectual property.

As independent producers, they are aware of the myriad of challenges inherent in the filmmaking process, exacerbated by budget constraints, demanding schedules and the constant struggle for visibility and consequently distribution.

For Webra, it is very important to help small and medium companies to produce, animate and promote, including periphery marketing activities such as the development of promotional videos, merchandising, web-based games and apps, by offering cost-effective solutions.
