Great environment for film lovers
First and foremost, I would wholeheartedly recommend Screen and Film School as a fantastic place to grow both professionally and personally. The opportunity to meet like-minded individuals who share a deep passion for filmmaking and storytelling was one of the highlights of my time there. The camaraderie and collaboration among students created an inspiring and creative atmosphere that truly enriched my learning journey. One of the standout aspects was its small size. This intimate setting fostered a comforting and personal environment, which, in turn, allowed every student to have ample access to equipment and one-on-one time with experienced tutors. The hands-on experience and guidance I received from my professors were invaluable, and I felt supported throughout my academic journey. However, there's one area where I believe Screen and Film School could improve�the curriculum. While I specialised in sound, I found that the curriculum did not delve as deeply into the subject matter as I had hoped. While I certainly left the university feeling prepared for the industry, I also felt that there was room for improvement in terms of the depth of knowledge and skill development. I believe that a more comprehensive curriculum would have better equipped me with the skills and expertise needed to stand out in the competitive film industry. In conclusion, Screen and Film School is undeniably a place where you can forge valuable industry contacts, develop your passion for filmmaking, and enjoy a close-knit community of peers. However, I do hope that in the future, the school will consider enhancing its curriculum to provide students with a more in-depth education in their chosen fields. Despite this, my time there has left me with lasting memories and a strong foundation to embark on my career in the film industry.
developed and completed 9 Novels of which these will be used for TV series productions and 3D animations, 22 feature films, 18 TV programs 13 Documentaries and 6 musical albums.
