Ten filmmakers joined us in February to develop feature film projects – and we are looking to recruit new participants for Courses running later in 2012 and for February 2013.
We are confident that we are running the most pragmatic programme in the country with an ethos that is “shortening the odds of getting your movies/programmes made”. Our team boasts some of the biggest names in the business.
Our mentors include:
Tim Bevan (Co-chairman of Working Title Films, with a dozen Oscars and some 20 Baftas under his belt)
Hossein Amini (writer; “Drive”, an Oscar nod for “The Wings of a Dove”, and work with Winterbottom, Scorsese, Curtis Hanson and co.)
Olivia Hetreed (writer of “Girl with a Pearl Earing”, Andrea Arnold’s “Wuthering Heights” and is Chair of the Writers Guild Film Department)
Rob Kenny (Director of Operations of the Curzon Cinemas – the holy grail of all indie film-makers)
and Oliver Parker (Director; “Othello”, “An Ideal Husband”, “St. Trinians”)
The Director of Programmes at the Institute is Stephen May who, until January, ran the Masters Programme in Screenwriting and Producing at the University of Westminster. Programmes under his direction have produced a near 100% record of industry employment for graduates.
