Our graduates

“The 'Media Production' team are so dedicated and passionate for their students to do well and this really helped me to push myself and do the best I could. There is a definite feeling of belonging to a family and community of filmmakers at Staffs and I will always hold on to the words and teachings of those who influenced me during the three years. The industry standard that I have been taught has helped get my work noticed, the films that I made whilst studying there have continued to gain international success. My film 'Dust' has just been selected to be screened for the Tri-Citites International Fantastic Film Festival with screenings in Chicago, Pasco and Seattle. Whilst my film from my second year 'We Were Here' (2010) has just been nominated for its second Cinematography Award with upcoming UnderWire Film Festival in London 2011.”
