Students on our ScreenSkills Select-accredited Film Production course have developed specialities in directing, producing, editing, scriptwriting and camera-operating, as well as creating content for digital platforms and learning the business side of the film industry. Some have also developed impressive portfolios during their studies by working with some of the biggest names in the UK and US music and film industries – like graduate Ali Rasoul.

Find out how our students evolve on our Film Production course by reading graduate Caleb Johnston’s story.
