And just before Covid struck the world and changed how we lived and worked, we had our last academy outing to France and had great fun working with our French students as they enthusiastically engaged with us in the programme.

A classroom based programme which saw us teaching the complete filmmaking process and what it entails.

From amongst the students, the actors were casted, crew were nominated and then the entire team swung into action as one force into an intensive but detailed pre-production process.

Story idea was conceived, written, produced and directed right there in class as part of the exercise.

The 2019 students came away with another beautiful story “SUBSTITUTE TEACHER”.
