The Social Nerdwork (Premiering May 2nd) is a nerdy internet quiz show that I am the production manager of. It is being created for my university final year project and is something I am incredibly passionate about and proud of!







The original branding for The Social Nerdwork!

In my first term of my final year at university I new I wanted to create a project that I was really proud of. Having previously worked on a chat show called In The Mix with a large crew I knew that I not only loved television studio work, but I knew who I wanted to work with. The difference would be that this time I wanted the subject to be something I'm passionate about and thus The Social Nerdwork an internet quiz show dedicated and devoted to nerd culture was born.

The aim of the show is to create a show and an online community where people feel free to talk about all of their nerdy interests! We wanted to make a show that could appeal to high and low key nerds a like, with references to deep lore and more obscure series while still keeping it grounded enough to appeal to a wide variety of people.


For our first module that term we create a pilot with the intention of making a better and more polished version for our final production project and that is exactly what we are doing!





In order to make sure that our new show is bigger and better we have expanded our team by collaborating with animators, graphic designers, editors and a PR agency. This was made possible after we pitched for budget at Birmingham City University and were awarded enough to help us start up the project.

“Watch our show...it's weird”

As the Production Manager my responsibilities include but are not limited too:

The, now completed, paperwork checklist I created for the pilot (The latest checklist is much longer!)

  • General Scheduling and Organization

  • Research

  • Idea Conception

  • Booking Shoot Locations

  • Booking Contributors

  • Budgeting

  • Call Sheets and Risk Assessments

  • Consent Forms

  • Pre and Post Production Paperwork

  • Communications

  • Copyright and Legal

  • Scripting

Through this project I have discovered a love for production management and organization. I enjoy scheduling and organizing and making sure that everything that needs to be done in order to keep the show progressing and thriving is happening. I love being at the centre of the team and knowing everything that is going on!
