Lagrangian Point is a Drama short film about two friends on hold for room service in their hotel room. During their eternal wait, they discover new aspects of each other’s personalities and grow closer, all before a cosmic phenomenon forces them apart.

The Role:

Dominic, Non-Binary (21-28) 

A wise and well-adjusted aspiring artist who is dissatisfied with their job, Dominic longs to escape mundanity and explore the world.

I am looking for actors who are non-binary, gender nonconforming, or trans. It is imporant for the actor to be comfortable portraying both an aesthetic ‘male’ and ‘female’ type. This aspect of the story is more subtextual and not a study of gender per se, but I would like to cast the right person to protray this character.

The shoot will be in a studio in Salford Quays in early May.

Founded in 2002, our headquarters are in London with offices also in Los Angeles and Sydney. We are part of the AKA Group of agencies.

What We Do

We are a full-service creative digital agency. Our people, technology and insights help global media and entertainment, sports and lifestyle brands create, manage, localise, distribute and place their content and evaluate its media reach.

CREATIVE SERVICES: THE DEPARTMENT

From concept through to delivery, our Creative Services team produces engaging, impactful and strategic content for marketing campaigns, with a focus on social, digital, broadcast and OOH.

We’ve earned our stripes working with major studios, independent distributors, TV production companies, luxury brands, sports organisations and live entertainment companies.

On every project, our mission is to connect our clients with their audiences through impactful AV creative that inspires, engages and entertains.

THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU

We are looking for an efficient Creative Producer to join our agile team of eleven in the Creative Services department.

As a Creative Producer you will develop, execute and deliver world-class AV content for our entertainment clients. You will be working on marketing campaigns for major film studios, indie distributors, Broadway and West End Shows, as well as lifestyle brands.

You will be joining us in an exciting, growing period, so you must be a fast-learner who’s ready to hit the ground running and can thrive under pressure.

The Role

• Interpret client requirements and effectively brief the creative team: in-house editors, motion graphic designers, sound ops and freelancers.
• Provide articulate and concise peer-to-peer feedback for all deliverables to enhance creative output throughout the project lifecycle.
• Drive the post-production of engaging branded content by adapting existing assets (footage, storyboards, stills, toolkits…), as well as generate ideas for original content.

• Oversee and manage all projects from brief through to delivery, in liaison with the Production Manager, Head of Editors, Graphics, Heads of department and Accounts.
• Multi-task efficiently across a diverse slate of simultaneous projects, against quick turnarounds.
• Communicate parameters around timings, costs and resources needed to the Production Manager, to ensure expectations are realistic and successfully met.
• Troubleshoot problems as they arise and offer solutions.
• Review/QC finished work to ensure the final output meets the original brief, transcripts, delivery specs and brand guidelines.
• Produce quote estimates and contribute to the billing for the projects you work on.
• Participate in creative brainstorms and support the Heads of Creative Services with developing compelling treatments and ad hoc pitches.
• You will report to the Heads of Creative Services.

Requirements

• Have 3+ years of experience crafting compelling AV content at a creative agency, advertising agency, in-house creative team or post-production house.
• A track record of producing short-form content for diverse marketing and/or publicity campaigns, across multiple social channels and digital mediums (e.g. trailers, online promos, TV spots, junkets, social content, OOH, etc.).
• Have solid project management skills with demonstrable experience running multiple projects and consistently delivering within quick turnarounds.
• You have great creative judgement, with an eye for design layout, motion graphics, editing and sound design. We’d love to see the examples you’re most proud of!
• To provide concise, clear, and actionable creative feedback / direction.
• You are a real team-player, but are also comfortable working independently and owning projects end-to-end.
• Have an exceptional attention to detail, are a fast-learner and don’t shy away from new challenges.
• Comfortable creating post-production quotes and managing basic billing duties.
• You’re multivalent and can confidently work across a varied slate of projects: from a basketball promo, to the motion poster for a theatre show, or a film junket.
• You possess a good understanding of what works across online advertising and social media. You naturally keep up with the latest trends.
• A genuine passion for the entertainment industry and familiarity with film, TV and theatre scene.
• Your strong work ethic is admirable. Someone who take pride in the quality of their work, finishing projects with accurate outputs and meeting deadlines.

Desirable

Previous experience producing content for entertainment is a strong bonus.

A background in project management or account management, desirable.

Experience with on-set production would be a plus, but not required as the majority of projects will focus on post-production.
