Testimonials

"The value these opportunities have provided is invaluable to our students. It has enabled them to think about careers in the film industry, they might not have previously considered and given many students the opportunity to undertake paid work experience on professional production sets. I honestly can't thank the team enough, the opportunities they provide to our students are second to none, they really inspire our learners and raise aspirations."

Our students have enjoyed being part of the Make It Here events. We have received interest for new students and have connected with local photographers that we are now collaborating with."
