I can't say I've ever looked down the barrel of a gun, but with things as they are it feels like my career has been doing exactly that. But rather than accept my fate I'm going to borrow from the same pool of ambition that got me to where I am, and change up my business.

Not re-training but to use what I have and adapt what I offer as a service based business. There are plans in motion but the first step is to get back to being a TTM paid member.

An industry can collapse but that doesn't mean I can't adapt to that.

I'm seeing quite a few edit assistant jobs pop up lately. Most of what I do on-set has overlapped with that of the edit assistant to a very high degree, so perhaps branching out into that field is another potential opportunity worth embracing.

It's that time of year again when my talent manager subscription comes about. Unfortunately work has been so lacking that I literally don't have enough in my business account to pay it. I have other income sources, but film / tv work? What a sad state this past year has been.

So sorry to hear this Richard. We totally understand what a difficult year it has been. Just as a little reminder - even if you can't be Pro right now, you can still apply for an unlimited number of jobs and be found by employers on the site. There are also events you can register for too and while things are quiet, you can keep building your network on TM You can also use our mobile app to do these things -all for free. Best of luck with it.

Alone (UK S1) premieres on August 6th at 9pm on Channel 4. I had the pleasure of working on this last year in the Canadian wilderness, my first time out of the country in decades!

I came with a lot of great experiences, and I hope people enjoy what we helped to make.

The long work drought resulting from the lengthy strikes in the USA may be drawing to a close. Due to seasonal downturns it'll be next year before work picks up again but at least there's hope. What state the UK industry will be in regions to be seen.
