They learnt about the relationship to other trades and departments on set and the variety of working environments. The highly topical workshop was organised by Film Barking and Dagenham and presented by Toby Dare of MBS Equipment Co. and Television Lighting Designer Bernie Davis, the event was the first in Film Barking and Dagenham’s Make it Here programme.

“We’re delighted to have launched our new ‘Make It Here’ programme with such an engaging industry focused workshop. This scheme is about matching aspiration with real opportunities and giving the wealth of talent in the borough a chance to shine and develop. This is only the beginning of a comprehensive engagement programme for the residents and learners of Barking and Dagenham and we can’t wait to share what’s coming next”.
The feedback from the students was excellent and more workshops are planned for the coming year.
