Producer Wanted for Low-Budget Experimental Comedy Short

Actor and writer Katie McGuinness is seeking a producer for a low-budget experimental comedy short, scheduled to shoot over 2–3 days in early December.

The short centres on two characters, played by Ben Whishaw and Katie McGuinness, and serves as the first in a planned series exploring their evolving relationship. This initial short will be submitted to festivals as a standalone piece and will also form the foundation for raising funds to produce the remaining episodes next year.

This is an exciting opportunity to come on board at the early stages of a developing project. Katie is particularly keen to connect with WFTV-affiliated producers who have experience or interest in experimental, character-driven work and who bring a hands-on, collaborative approach.

The shoot will be straightforward — one interior location with a skeleton crew.

Katie can be contacted at kt_mcguinness@yahoo.com or +44 7714 762816

Thank you,
Katie McGuinness

WFTV Member - Podcast Call Out

One of our members is looking for podcast guests across the next 12 months to sit down with other creatives in the same fields to chat about career progression and breaking down their industries.

The catch is that one is early career and the other mid/senior. Each conversation will be moderated and hopefully we’ll all learn something at the end of it all.

This is a self-funded project but the podcast has been awarded a small grant to help with costings.

They are looking for all kinds of guests from pre production and post production job titles.

FLICKD: the social app for all film & TV lovers

Imagine you could easily connect with other TV & film lovers for free in a safe place online without distractions or clunky user experiences? flickd has launched its free app in UK for iOS and Android users, hoping to transform the experience for TV and film enthusiasts across the world.

What is flickd?
flickd is an app for the TV & film community, a “movie/tv club 2.0” which includes both film and TV shows and delivers an intuitive and modernized user experience which puts its users first, alongside their favorite content. There is no single safe place built with film+TV lovers in mind, where users can openly share opinions and enter discussions with a user-first content-forward clean and modernized UX. flickd is a modern-day Goodreads but for film and TV instead of books – the user discussions and content are connected and at the centre of the app, letting film and TV fans discuss all aspects of the content in depth, learn from each other and share thoughts on specific scenes in a safe online setting.

Who founded flickd?
flickd was founded in 2024 by Matilde Neffe out of a strong need to create a user-centric app for all TV & film lovers like herself, to come together and have discussions around content, as well as track what they're watching in one single place. After 10 years at Amazon, Matilde decided to leave the company and pursue her passion for film & TV.
While at Amazon, she gained extensive experience at Prime Video, working with studios to integrate their content onto Prime Video's selection, and leading the team responsible for personalization and recommendation of content across iOS, Android, Fire TV and smart TVs. Next, she worked closely with startups at AWS and then with Product and Engineering in the development of the search functionality of the Amazon app on both iOS and Android, leveraging cutting-edge technology like automated speech recognition and GenAI technologies.
