Opening
Train your team
Buy a session for your own people. Our practitioners come to your premises, or your team comes to us at 3 Mills.
If your people need to work with faith communities and nobody has taught them how
This is our time and our practitioners. Nothing on this page depends on anyone else's building or anyone else's kit.
A broadcaster or production company whose crews keep meeting a question nobody trained them for. An agency briefing a client on a community film. A council commissioning content about residents it does not know how to approach. A university teaching production to students who will walk onto a set next year. A faith institution deciding how to work with the industry on its own terms.
You bring the team and the problem. We build the session round both.
What can be taught
Take one strand, or combine them into a longer block.
| Strand | What your team leaves knowing |
|---|---|
| Faith-literate production practice | Prayer, fasting, food, dress, facilities and contributor care, planned in prep and written onto the call sheet. Drawn from the toolkit. |
| Working with communities | How a unit approaches a place of worship or a congregation, who speaks for the production, what goes in writing before anyone turns over. |
| Technical craft | Camera, grip, lighting, sound and DIT (digital imaging technician), taught by people working in high-end drama now, to the grade your team actually needs. |
| On-set culture | How a unit runs: reporting lines, the call sheet, who asks whom, and how people are spoken to on the floor. |
Two or three minutes of a session in progress, cut so a buyer can see the room, the practitioner and the hands-on work.

How it runs
At your premises, or at our base at 3 Mills.
From a single briefing to a run of days, with groups small enough that everyone gets their hands on the kit where the session is practical. Done: a classroom session delivered on a built cinema camera, and a production simulation at 3 Mills, described on the simulation page. Opening: the booked route for organisations buying a session for their own staff.
There is no rate card here. A briefing for a communications team and a technical block for a studio crew are not the same purchase, so we quote against your brief and name the practitioner delivering it.
What your fee does
Screen Sisters CIC has an asset lock, so no surplus leaves into anyone's pocket. Buying training funds fully funded places for women who could not otherwise pay to train. Where the money goes.
