Zara Zabair
I started my journey in the TV and film industry wanting to be a presenter at Confetti where I was able to meet other creatives and work on projects together and be inspired by each other. Once I graduated I was able to be a freelancer, making video content for clients such as music videos, corporate company ads and comedy sketches.
Very soon after I finished university I moved to Manchester to hit the “media city” area however it was proving to be a lot more difficult than I thought. I did a bit of freelancing however decided to move back to Nottingham and try out a 9-5 job.
A year into my job as a team leader for a insurance company I was approached on social media by Radio Faza to be a radio presenter. I was excited and soon realised that my “vlogging” and little bits of filming I was still doing really helped. After a while I was then scouted by Kemet FM on Facebook to present on the Urban Flavaz show. I was slowing getting back into the industry through the power of social media.
I have now been working at Kemet FM as a radio presenter for over 2 years. I have recently starting a new project with BritAsiaTV to make a short film and I should hopefully be starting a job with Linney Create as a production Co ordinator. These opportunities all came to me by staying consistent on social media and networking.
