Working in the production office is one of the most popular career options. MFJF member Chris shares his experience of running on TV programmes to working at Pinewood.

Members of the My First Job in Film community can be found working across the UK; facing the elements on location and under cover at the major film studios. Some of our members are working on commercials and indies, some are working on big budget studio productions.

Chris Hopper is an NFTS student who has been gaining professional experience via My First Job in Film whilst he studied. Recently, Chris was successful when he applied for a PA role through MFJF and within a few weeks he had been promoted to production secretary - well done Chris!

We caught up with Chris at Pinewood and camped out in the makeup room to shoot this interview.
