We are delighted to announce the launch of From Stage to (small) Screen, a career-changing opportunity for two stage directors to train in TV directing and to then direct an episode each of Hollyoaks, for which they will be paid. 

One of the strengths of the UK entertainment industry is directors working between stage and screen, but how does a stage director make the leap?  This scheme is here to help.  You do not need to have any screen directing experience – we are looking for talented stage directors who have an interest in expanding their practice into directing television.  

This opportunity is open to all SDUK full members (click here to join) and as always this is an equal opportunities scheme.  We look forward to hearing from you, and we wish you the best of luck!  

This scheme is generously supported by the David Fraser and Andrea Wonfor Bursary.
