If you read the NYT article yesterday on Denmarks failure to keep up with the demands of the international market: www.nytimes.com/2019/12/14/arts/television/denmark-netflix-labor-shortage.html?fbclid=IwAR16MtxXN...
you should read this too. The answer is not only the film school. It's the Producer's responsibility to TRAIN the crews they are working with. Not to overpay under-experienced workers because they are desperate to hire. That is a disaster waiting to happen. Looking back a few years ago when we saw this boom coming had we secured a competitive Tax Incentive to encourage foreign investment we could have written TRAINING into the stipulations. The 'learn by doing' approach on ambitious foreign productions is worth a year of class room workshops. But there still is no Tax Incentive and so no foreign productions worth mentioning. You could argue the ca. 85 mill USD per year the Danish state film fund spends on danish productions should guarantee a TRAINING mechanism but it doesn't and instead that money flows out of the country in droves and we train our neighbours instead. What is needed now is TRAINING and Leadership coaching for people that are suddenly swimming in dark waters because they have no idea what they are getting into and how to keep up. So I'm sorry but it is our fault. We let this happen. And the only way to get out of it is by investing in our crews so that there is a sustainable career path ahead of them. Let the film school do it's job as well as they have always done. Now we must do ours.
How Europe is addressing skills shortages to keep up with the production boom
screendaily.com
Film production has grown 50 percent over the past decade.
It’s also tough being a professional (DIT), bidding on a Netflix show, and the production company goes with a “solution” from the camera rental/post house. If there’s that many tv/streaming shows, why is it then so hard for us (In this case; DITs, to get onboard?).
And also, unfurtunatly, if a young danish student takes his film education outside Europe ( there are not that many great film schools in Denmark), there is no help, SU or loans possibel, you have to pay everything your self.
If the institute soon gets up to speed and making it possible to get funding to productions that wants to use Virtual Production methods there is a possibility that we don’t loose another generation
Love it.

Hvornår starter vi så noget træning op hos Marlow?
I thank my friend and colleague Patrick Degan at #nonfictionunlimited for calling me to produce this film for #Google. For over 15 years I have enjoyed each and every possibility to work with them but this one was extra special in ways too complicated to name here. Watch it and you will probably understand. This is a true story with a reenactment from the real players. I am so appreciative for all the expertise involved that was needed to pull this off; locally, regionally, and yes, even nationally. There is a long version of this production which is truly for the books and makes my heart race just seeing this. All I can say is 'Hat's off' to you all. I can't tag those who aren't on FB but it's a long list. And for those naysayers freaking out about who's watching who and why? I get you. But these are the juicy bits that make the discussion more nuanced.Since the dawn of cell phones, first responders have struggled to locate many emergency callers who are unable to describe their locations.

Nora Ephron is one of the people I really wish I had met before her passing and one I certainly don't ever want to forget. She is a whip-smart, talented filmmaker; a thoughtful collaborator who humbly shares anecdotes about her impressive career in this interview. 1 hour of inspiration for the storyteller in all of us.
