Latest Film School Reviews

Geared to essay film and experimental art rather than industry film training
Reviewed by: Alumni
Pros
  • Creative environment
Cons
  • Key tutors lack professional film industry experience
  • Disorganised productions planning, and lack of variety of collaborators in different crew dept roles
The screenwriting tutor was an experimental art/essay filmmaker and without a professional background in drama. These days the course is ran by experimental art tutors rather than filmmakers with industry backgrounds. There is disorganisation with regard to production crewing, budget allocation and too many aspiring directors, and no aspiring producers. Too many productions greenlit without resources to fulfil the quota. Would benefit from more practical, hands on cinematography workshops. The course was shortened to one year which is not long enough to study each aspect of film as it endeavours. To write, develop, produce, shoot and carry out post. Whilst doing advanced academic papers alongside without much practical relevance. The standard of shorts could be improved.
