Yeah its a tricky one for sure. But hell yeah, go in cold, half the battle is enthusiasm. But just be prepared for not having your application replied to as studios sometimes reply to those in the running. And that can take up to two months if you are lucky. Studios also like fresh meat so they can mould them in their way of working and its good for the company as well in the long run.

Find out when the stuff you re doing will be aired. Its the safest way. I had the same trouble when I finished ITVs Headcases. And the same will happen on the current projects Im on too.

But the cool thing is you are just out of uni too so dont you have course work to show until the new stuff comes out? As long as you put it on your cv that youve worked at 'Blah' Studio and state the position you worked you'll be fine.

I have the same trouble, but by getting a reference too from a manager or supervisor on your cv will be proof as well and will help heaps.

Just keep plugging away, you'll soon have stuff to show.
