what our students say about the alumni project...
Naomi Smith
2nd AD
"As a very fresh graduate being trusted with a role on set was an amazing opportunity, and to work with a new team and to feel valued by them was a great transition into the film industry. But my experience on Chickenshit went beyond just being a crew member. Working out on location, learning from professionals in the crew and gaining contacts, as well as witnessing new roles such as intimacy coordination. Also having a film credit on my CV that wasn’t a “student film” and to have references for future jobs.
Ellie was a dream Director to work with, and for her to back me up as I took a step out into the world of freelancing was priceless, starting my career with an established network that I could build on top."
