What’s Included.

Sidekick AI is designed around real‑world industry understanding, bringing together curated insight, structured guidance, real work opportunities, and practical employability support — all in one focused space. This is not generic advice; it is informed, intentional, and built to aid progress.

  • Access insight shaped by genuine industry awareness — guidance that reflects how the screen industries actually function. From understanding production environments to recognising progression pathways, Sidekick AI provides clarity rooted in professional reality.

  • Sidekick AI connects emerging talent with live, relevant screen industry opportunities — not theory, not outdated listings. We curate and surface entry-level roles, trainee schemes, and production calls across the UK, ensuring users see what’s actually happening in the market right now.

    Every opportunity is contextualised with guidance on readiness, application strategy and progression pathways — so users don’t just see jobs, they understand how to secure them.

  • Career decisions don’t operate on office hours. Sidekick AI is available whenever you need it — whether you’re refining your direction, preparing for opportunities, or seeking immediate clarity before taking your next step.

  • Develop a CV and professional profile that aligns with industry expectations. Sidekick AI provides structured direction on presenting your experience, articulating your value, and positioning yourself competitively within the sector.

  • Gain a clear, structured breakdown of roles, career pathways, expectations, and progression across the screen industries. Sidekick AI helps you understand not just where you could work — but where you should position yourself strategically.

  • More than content. More than advice.

    Sidekick AI operates as your ongoing career co-pilot — helping you stay focused, informed, and aligned with long-term professional growth.

  • Sidekick AI complements academic programmes by reinforcing employability, strengthening industry awareness, and supporting students beyond the classroom. It acts as a structured bridge between study and professional progression.

Knowing it’s verified by Film Buddy means I can trust what I’m learning. It helps me see where I fit, prepares me for real work, and points me towards genuine opportunities.”
