Entrepreneurial skills won’t take a back seat as you pitch films to professional visitors and explore film marketing and distribution strategies, including festival and contest entries and online platforms. And you’ll make full use of the industry networks associated with the course, attending craft workshops with leading writers, directors, producers, production designers, sound designers and cinematographers.

You’ll explore how the production skills you use and the creative choices you make can shape and change the story you are telling. Your focus will be the short film form, including original and adapted drama, documentary, advertising and Commercial editorial work. The final year provides opportunities to write, produce or direct an original short film and submit it for selection for a special industry screening. There’s also the potential for international exposure through online screenings and Norwich’s Graduate Showcase.
