The London Film School with Skillset Screen Academy funding, is offering a completely new kind of programme: the Craft Extension Programme. We will enrol a small number of filmmakers in four craft areas: Cinematography, Editing, Production Design and Sound, to undertake a year long programme of individually agreed practical learning.
The programme is aimed at filmmakers who have a good grounding in their craft area, but might want more experience, a better showreel, or a more industry oriented focus for what they have already learned. The programme will offer them the chance to deepen their skills, their grasp of professional practices, and their understanding of the aesthetics of their craft area. They will have a year in London, in our context of constant film making, minutes from the centre of the film industry.Read More
