After that there came criticism and shut up after that announcement was published last weekend, was the job advertisement on Monday changed to “Casting and kostymemedarbeider to dramaserie in P3”, according to Ibrahim.
– We will not allow people to misunderstand or perceive it the way that we do with the exploitation of the people. It is not true. We have changed the text of the advertisement to clean up. This person should never have full responsibility for the costume and casting, but assist, ” she says.
– This is not about saving money. This is small production and we seek to work closely with the rest of the editorial staff. Castingen of the key roles are already well on the way and almost finished when this person start, ” continues Ibrahim.
Lower your expectations
the Series they make and need people to be described by the tv-boss as “a realistic ungdomsdrama with small budget”.
– Expectations are then. We do not expect the same of the person who in large dramaproduksjoner. It is for example not as many shifts here, as in large series, ” says Ibrahim continues:
the Expectations of the responsibilities reflect the position’s scope, and I think that for all parties is more appropriate in a small dramaproduksjon as this that there is a person in the full-time position that can work over time with multiple things, than to hire three people to work part-time.
NRK with the green light. Stock Michelet-drama, to 150 million.
