Dom Kullander BA Film, 2012 Assistant Producer, Perform Group “I’m an Assistant Producer at sports media company Perform Group. My role is specifically on the rugby team, where I produce content for Premiership Rugby and the England rugby team. It’s a mixture of post-production, creative production and live events. Each weekend I’m at a game in the Outside Broadcast truck – I even get to do the post- match interviews! Film studies massively improved my ability to think critically about a subject, a key skill in television production. My research skills were also bolstered by the course. On starting my job, I realised how useful these skills are when adapted to complete tasks. I owe Southampton so much for allowing me to get my dream job in TV.”
