Media World: National Youth Film Academy

I applied a few months ago to the National Youth Film Academy to take part in their summer program where they select the best up and coming young filmmakers around the country to take part in making 1 of 4 films. At the audition i had to prepare a new short film idea, a show reel, and examples of my script work and have an interview with 2 of the Academy reps.
I was so happy when i got a phone call to say i had been offered a place on the course!

Here is a bit about the course:

The National Youth Film (NYFA), supported by the Directors Guild Trust and the Directors Guild of Great Britain.

Some of the people in the past NYFA have had speak on the course include:

Here is an article from the Guardian about the course:

Really excited to start it now and feel very lucky to be one of the chosen few.

Stay safe,
