A firm warning to everyone in the industry - if an individual called Paul Harrison comes knocking on your door (either in person or via his company, Shot Positiv), and either are asking for or offering work, then you would be best advised to take a very wide berth around him.

Harrison (NB not the well known Director of the same name) has a track record of being deeply offensive and unpleasant to work with, with numerous tales of his goings-on reported on industry social media. He is also a serial offender when it comes to offering illegal unpaid work.

Anyone coming across him in a work context, please feel free to get in contact. All information treated in confidence of course. Be warned also, Harrison often works via a variety of pseudonyms (eg Pandi Acharya, “freelance Casting Director” Helen Kennedy, Grainne Kelly grainnekellyacting@gmail.com and others) and uses these to post adverts for work that turns out to be unpaid.
