    Hey mattmassey28,

    I think your best option might be to contact as many production companies mid-production right now, as they're the folks who mostly require runners.

    It would be most unusual to get an ass-cam role with zero experience, but you should express in your CV or cover letter what direction you see your career going. Like down the technical route, sound or cameras, or a production role like coordination and then production manager, or researcher and the assistant producer, producer.

    You can check out what's filming on iftn. Or keeps your eyes and ears open, you hear a company has been awarded money to make something, get a phone number, find an email address and get in touch. Don't be shy about it, in TV and Film this is how ALL freelancers get work.

    Best of luck!
