This is a unique course, for unique filmmakers. On MA Feature Filmmaking, you’ll push your experience and skills to the limit as part of a production team of a funded feature film in the action genre. You will work from start to finish as part of a team: pitching initial ideas, taking one of these to a full script, and working as a professional crew from principal photography through to post-production.
Developed in collaboration with UK production studio Action Xtreme, this course is designed to give you hands-on experience of the dynamic processes that go into feature film development on a microbudget, along with the essential contextual knowledge that supports emotive, intelligent filmmaking.
MA Feature Filmmaking contextualises industry challenges such as inclusivity and sustainability, giving a space for students to explore diverse ideas within an independent filmmaking culture that challenges mainstream narratives.
