Social media star and viral sensation, GK Barry, has today launched a three part vodcast series ‘A Foot in the Door’ to support young creatives trying to break into the film, TV and music industries.
The series will see GK Barry with three special guests step best foot forward into careers in the creative industries in a behind the scenes reveal-all – whilst receiving cheeky pedicures, producing hilarious results.
The government backed campaign aims to encourage fans of film, music and TV to value the creative process, support all the people behind the scenes who make the content they love, and Get it Right from a Genuine Site, instead of sourcing from infringing services.
The first episode of ‘A Foot in the Door’, released today, sees actor Josh Sinclair-Evans, best known for starring in Spider-Man: Far From Home and Sky Cinema’s A Christmas No.1, discuss his experience of breaking into the film industry.
Episode one shines a light on how Josh went from starring in his local pantomime to being on set with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood, including Tom Holland and Zendaya. He opens up about the highs and lows of the industry, and even has a go at some questionable nail art on host GK’s foot.
The vodcast series will also feature English rapper, ENNY and TV Top Boy star, Shone Romulus, and sees each guest discuss the impact that piracy can have on their careers and the wider industry.
GK Barry is known for being a creator and studied film at university, from her viral Tik Toks to launching her very own chart-topping The Saving Grace Podcast. With over three million followers on social media and 10 million Spotify streams, GK Barry has a wealth of knowledge to share about protecting your content online.
GK Barry commented: “The creative industries fascinate me so I’ve loved getting a peek behind the curtain at the inner workings of the worlds of film, music and TV. Whilst getting my feet scrubbed and bedecked with various nail art from my guests was LOLs, the series also has so many useful hints and tips for young people trying to get their foot in the door, as well as showing the impact that piracy can have on us all.
“Whether it’s not maintaining creative control of your own work, to not supporting all the behind the scenes crew that make an amazing film or TV show happen, to the personal risk of getting hacked – the message is simple – don’t be a pirate and Get It Right From A Genuine Site.”
