Oscar Bannock Priest

Worked for two summers as an intern, and now as a full time worker at PMZ FIlms, a production company run by Emmy-winning Director Marina Zenovich and Executive Producer P.G. Morgan.

Starting out as an executive and production assistant, my responsibilities included:

• General development research and proposal writing.

• Liaising with networks and talent agencies, involving note taking during meetings and calls.

• Running the social media accounts of PMZ.

As my experience has grown, and I moved into the roles of Researcher and Associate Producer, my skills expanded to:

• Noting and responding to cuts
• Performing deep archival searches to build story and detail
• Finding and communicating with possible talent and interviewees
• Working on AVID Media Composer, building out archive string outs and subject-related bite pulls to aid Editors
• Working closely on set with the Directors to confirm factual decisions and ensure accuracy and continuity in recreation scenes.
• Working closely with Archival producers to aid with clearance and licensing queries within cuts.

• Curated multiple playlists for the different establishments of the 'Beckford Group', a diverse group of acclaimed South West-of-England hospitality businesses.
• Working closely with the Operations Director, I developed playlists that are finely tuned to each of the pubs and restaurants according to their desired feel and overall style.
• Also hand-picked vinyls that are in various collections around the sites, most notably in the acclaimed Private Dining Room at The Bath Arms.
