CrewHQ Careers Days shine a spotlight on careers behind the camera with the crew who worked on the production being featured.
For National Careers Week 2025, we are excited to share an opportunity for students to hear live from some of the crew that made Bong Joon Ho’s new film, Mickey 17.
The panel discussion at the event will be streamed live across the UK from central London, hosted by BBC Radio 1 Xtra’s Yinka Bokini, where students tuning in remotely will be able to ask questions in advance via their teacher either on the registration form or on email to CrewHQ@wbd.com, to ensure the activity achieves Gatsby Benchmark 5.
