Job Description
The Leo Media & Entertainment Group and its sister company Fountain of Life Productions are urgently looking for a freelance new Associate to help us with the development and production of major feature films.
The work involved will be including search for production crew and finance to various projects, casting, and general creative work (i.e. constructive comments on scripts, treatments, etc.). Among the tasks that our new Associate would be undertaking would be assisting in the consideration of new clients and projects as and when they come to Leo Media & Fountain, on the basis that once the project is formally signed up by us, you would work with the existing staff of Fountain to help package the film and bring it to fruition. The work would generally be based from home as opposed to our offices. There are no “fixed” hours, and in principle there would be no objection to working another job alongside the work for us provided that all necessary arrangements are made accordingly.
You would not be paid on a salary basis as such, but instead you would normally receive payment along the lines of the following:
- a title the companies as “associate producer” or “development associate” or similar, according to the type of work provided and the results of it
- a similar credit in the relevant film projects you are involved with
- a percentage of ca. 5% of any funds received by Fountain during the course of development or pre-production of a certain film you are involved (e.g. if you are developing a film with Fountain and you assist in securing £100,000 of development or other funding payable to Fountain, you would receive £5,000).
- an industry-standard fee from the budget of each relevant film upon principal photography commencing. This fee is likely to be in the region of £20-30,000 for a project with a budget of £5m.
- your phone and postage expenses, etc. would be covered, and you would receive an e-mail account and address in the fountainoflifeproductions.com domain name.
This is a unique opportunity to get great work experience getting involved with top-level feature films, producers, actors and directors. Your work would not be limited to one kind of film or genre but instead you would get the chance to work on a very wide range of film and television projects (including action - adventure, TV series, documentaries, period dramas, etc.).
Candidates should be aware that the initial interview may need to take place in Brussels, Belgium, in which case they would be expected to make their own way over to Belgium at their cost.
For more information about the kinds of projects you will be working on, please see www.leomediagroup.com and www.fountainoflifeproductions.com.
