Serge Films likes to describe itself as "delivering Broadcast quality". Quality comes at a price however and Serge Films has found a way of subsidising it - by using illegal unpaid workers to subsidise what they do:

Is that not right? I would be grateful if you would let me know.

"Driving their expansion" for no pay whatsoever. Not really the way that ethical companies behave.
Serge Films obviously one to watch then, but not in a very good way. They also have another company,
Serge Design Online http://www.sergedesignonline.com, no reason to suggest they would be any more scrupulous in their behaviour either. They say this on their website:
THE BBC, ITV, CHANNEL 4 - We've made programmes for them all. So we know how to make broadcast quality films to deadline. We bring our skills, contacts and pedigree to your business to deliver beautiful films that showcase your talents to the world.If anyone has worked for this shady company, I'd love to hear more about how they operate (feel free to send me a PM). Meanwhile...
