Film and Television: Theory, Culture and Industry MA- 2018

The course was an invaluable learning experience for me and one that I strongly recommend to anyone endeavouring to pursue a career in the film, television or multimedia industries.

The combination of theory and creative writing taught by experienced instructors was an excellent way for me to acquire knowledge about various media. I chose the screenwriting pathway, which cemented my aspiration to pursue a career in the field, and I have used the final script produced on the MA as an industry calling card.

After submitting this script to the Bahamas International Film Festival, I won the writers residency programme competition and had the opportunity to meet and workshop with industry professionals who gave me great feedback about my work.

I am currently in pre-production for a short film I have written and will direct and have also been appointed as a Creative Director responsible for overseeing works by other aspiring Bahamian filmmakers and visual creators.
