A runner in the film industry is where most of us will begin the journey to the top of the food chain. it is your first chance to prove your worth in the industry to try and get further into the career you are wanting to achieve, you cant expect to become a professional director coming straight out of university, unfortunately its a longer road than most other jobs in a work place. but that is not to say it isn't a rewarding road either, becoming a runner gives you a great chance to get exactly where you want to be and gets you a chance at getting hands on experience in the real world of the film and television industry.
If you like you could look at a runner as a 'labourer' in a building work place, you do the jobs you get asked to do and in turn get a chance to work along side veterans who gave show you the 'tricks of the trade' so you can get a head start in the business.
There are different runners who have similar responsibilities in the workplace, but what exactly do runners do? well, Runners are responsible for client hospitality, including providing food and drinks. Clients spend long periods of time at Post Production houses during the editing process.
