Our programme of events and training is driven by ongoing direct consultation with the industry and is supported by our team’s first-hand experience working in the Film and TV industry.

Our events complement our training offering by providing invaluable networking opportunities to foster relationships and connections within the Film and TV industry no matter what stage of your career or life you are currently at. We even host a monthly playgroup for parents and carers and their little ones.
