20. What is an Assistant Director with Tereza Dvořáková
Getting into TV aims to break down the barriers of entering the world of TV by deep diving into every single role we can, from unscripted to scripted. Join me in each episode where I’ll talk to a different TV professional about what they do, how they go there, what tips and tricks they can give you plus some general TV chat.
