Armed Forces are turning their hands to acting and directing amid an uptick in demand for military productions.
Whilst a lucrative career in private security might have previously lured those who were leaving the Armed Forces, more are noticing a similarity between film sets and deploying on operations.
James Glancy, who served as an officer in the Royal Marines for a decade before going into documentaries, said the crossover between the two worlds was more obvious than people realise.

“We are organised, we can survive anywhere in the world and we can be medics whilst also helping with logistics and security,” he told The Sunday Telegraph. “With someone from the military you get a well rounded person who is on time and punctual. When delivering a TV show, a play or a film, those skills are key.”
