I am immensely grateful for this program and it has been a highlight of my year as I take steps closer to being a creative collaborator in the fimmaking space. This will allow me to grow further as a writer/director and has provided information I need to set the pathway I need to travel as a storyteller in film.

This program gave me the opportunity to explore a passion, that I couldn’t have imagined pursuing (career wise). It showed me the world of filmmaking and screenwriting in a way that was open and inclusive. It is a tough career path to follow but this program was a great opportunity to gain confidence.
